This looks good, but now integers are "official" how about considering
making my 'powerpatch' for binary constants official too? ( For example
local x = 0b1001_0001 - support of underscores here is particularly useful
to break long bitmaps into fields - they're just for documentation and get
ignored).
It seems to me a no-brainer that if the Bit32 library is official, then the
language needs binary constants too. Together they are very useful for
writing communications protocol stacks and for mapping peripheral control
registers in embedded processors.
