I think that's an interesting idea, however I think that should be left for
next time -- We're kinda out-of-time and I just want to be done with the
bitmanip instructions...I'm going to work on the rest of the bitmanip
instructions in approximately the order I think they will be most useful to
least useful, hence why I started on ternlog and grev. If/when we run out of
time, that way we will have the most useful ones all finished -- and the more
questionable/incompletely-designed instructions left for last.
