Unfortunately, this approach doesn't seem to work on the "^^" operator.

I can however use :power. Shouldn't there be a consistent way to convert
all operators from string to get-word?
I am also trying to inject parentheses without much success. Is this
even possible? I've tried:
x: '(
x: get to-get-word "("
x: :(
Each attempt failed.
Thanks,
Scott.
