By StefanKarpinski:

This is not an improvement:

```
julia> 2^(1:10)
no method ^(Int64,Range1{Int64})
in method_missing, boot.j:297
in run_repl, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:22
in _start, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:134

julia> 2.^(1:10)
no method .^(Int64,Range1{Int64})
in .^, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/abstractarray.j:189
in run_repl, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:22
in _start, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:134
```

Of course, we also have this:

```
julia> 2^[1:10]
no method ^(Int64,Array{Int64,1})
in method_missing, boot.j:297
in run_repl, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:22
in _start, /Users/stefan/projects/julia/j/client.j:134
```

But that should be fixed too. Since the `/` method is the default for `./` and we want both to work for Real./Ranges it seemed better to define `/`.
