in the simulator, as a base "convenience" class of some kind.

basically, right now, code like this (which is extswsli)

    n  <- sh[5] || sh[0:4]
    r  <- ROTL64(EXTS64(RS[32:63]), n)
    m  <- MASK(0, 63-n)
    RA <- r & m

currently gets turned into this:

    n  = sh[5] + sh[0:5] # these are lists so they get concatenated
    r  = ROTL64(EXTS64(RS[32:64]), n)
    m  = MASK(0, 63-n)
    RA = r & m

however what is *actually* needed is:

    n  = sh[5] + sh[0:5] # these are lists so they get concatenated
    r  = self.helperfns.ROTL64(self.helperfns.EXTS64(RS[32:64]), n)
    m  = self.helperfns.MASK(0, 63-n)
    RA = r & m

and some other small changes.

remember, the code that's being executed will be *in* the simulator.
it's only generated *by* the compiler (power_pseudo.py).

welcome to compilers, they're a bit of a mind-bender :)
