Oy! You keep your greedy fingers off my bitvectors.
(Incidentally I hope that in Perl 6 there's a way to shift the bitvector
aspect of $s: currently $s << and $s >> to shift the numeric aspect of
the $s. Currently there's no way to shift bitvectors.)

Which reminds me: guess what $s=~0 parses as now? Not as the equivalent
of $s = 0xfff..fff
