Don't ask me...though I will look to see how difficult it would be to 
add them.

Now, *this* I have no idea how to implement, though I would use a 
C/Java-like syntax instead of the BASIC-like syntax.

Unknown. I have written a patch which adds a ^ operator for 
exponentiation, but it may not be included. The modulo operator would be 
just as easy...but the best operator to use for it would be %, and that 
is already used in MegaPOV as a shortcut for #local. Both of these 
operators are useable in functions, however.
