Yeah, I would be really sad if I can't do popCount on Integer.
I suppose the issue really is whether you are allowed to have instances of
Bits that have values with an infinite number of 1 bits, e.g. the 2-adic
numbers.

Although, popCount for Integer/Natural kind of makes sense, as they aren't infinite list of [Bit]s, but smarter structure.

I propose to change it to be member of FiniteBits
I recall, there was a proposal to remove bitSize from Bits, so it's an opportunity to introduce another small, yet breaking change at the same time.
Discussion time 2 week.
