[Twinsen] Arithmetic Combinator: First input can't set constant

The second input of the arithmetic combinator allows you to set a constant. The first input does not. This means that for certain operations, you have to use a constant combinator to put the constant you need into a signal, and read that in the first input. For example, if I want to do the operation 2^SIGNAL, I have to use a constant combinator to put the number 2 into a virtual signal, and then use that signal to do CONSTANT^SIGNAL.

While more of a feature request, I implemented it since it makes sense.

I made it so both inputs of the Arithmetic Combinator can use a constant.
Implemented in Version: 0.16.0

is it then so that you can set "each" into the second slot also, so i can for examle do each^each or something?
that would be good.

Can you make this available on the API too? (In case you didn't already.)

The lua api changed also, you will see the new usage format in the docs.

As far as each^each I don't plan on adding that.
