Can we do something slightly nicer about (^)?

[David Feuer]

Every time someone writes, say, x^20, the literal exponent defaults to
Integer. This is the wrong default whenever the literal is in the Word
range. Fixing this goes beyond the capabilities of RULES pragmas, but I
imagine it would be a fairly simple thing to accomplish in the internal
rule language.
