We are considering adding bitwise operations to Lua. After all, the main reason Lua did not have them was that they were awkward as primitive operations over floating-point numbers. With integer numbers, this problem is gone.
That would be great. I guess a possible problem could be the portability of bit manipulation code (e.g. image processing) between Lua interpreters compiled with different integer width.
