I suggest we hurry slowly here. Do we understand what the meaning of the Bits class is? Lets make sure we don't make it harder for use for the majority use case of performing bitwise operations on machine sized quantities.
The user of the Bits class is only lightly affected. The only change she possibly should make is to add an extra Num constraint to the existing Bits constraint. Bits instances are more affected because they now need to add: bit = ... testBit = ... popCount = ... where they could possibly use the supplied default functions. Do you think these are show-stoppers? Bas
