Just remembered one little thing that's been niggling me.

I would like to suggest some credit to be attributed to the 
originator of the bit library in the 5.2 documentation, I think it 
was Reuben Thomas' bit library that was the popular one but I 
don't know of prior history. Even if bit32 is totally original 
code, there is a chain of significant prior work in this area.
