Re: Bitwise XOR in Lua?

So I made band primitive, and derived bxor and bnot.

But de Morganising makes bor use four calls to band (three via bnot), so
to avoid that I kept bor primitive.

Anyway, the logic stdlib is now updated accordingly. I've not added any 
efficiency measures on the grounds that they're harder to get right and 
produce larger Lua code; you might as well find a C compiler for bitlib 
instead!
