Re: popCount is a method of Bits, not a FiniteBits

I'm pretty strongly -1 on moving popCount. Both the Natural and the slightly more... interesting... Integer implementations of that method have turned out to be quite useful in practice. -Edward On Sat, Nov 30, 2019 at 7:17 AM Oleg Grenrus wrote:

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.
