The equivalent solution here would be to add a new operator for complex exponentiation that coerces its operands to complex, and restrict the existing one to floats only. In case of division a new operator (//) restricted to ints only, and the existing one coerces its operands to floats.

That is incorrect. // works fine with non-ints.
