(Assuming you meant pow(2,x).)
You'd want to be very careful with that, pow() returns a Float and the result will become a Float, which is not valid in a lot of vim script contexts, including the bit functions. Float-ness can propagate unexpectedly in vim script. I'd use a literal number if the shift is constant, f.ex. "x / 16" for "x >> 4". If a variable shift is called for maybe use float2nr(pow(2, x)).
