Bit module function names

["Stuart P. Bentley" <stuart@...>]

Isn't it a bit silly/redundant to prefix all of the functions in the 'bit' 
table with 'b'? After all, the 'string' module functions in the table don't 
start with 'str'. (I understand the need to distinguish 'and' and 'or' from 
the keywords, but they usually have a bitwise qualifier in regular speech as 
well, unlike "bitwise XOR".)
