I always thought bitwise "and" and "or" were the things to use to modify
partial content ?. Though I can't say if that makes sense because
INTVAL is not fixed and neither is the endianess of registers (IIRC they 
are not fixed ?).

Those were written to support the fixed size integers and longs that
C# needs (Int32 & Friends). I think you could "convert" from/to sized
integer values with those opcodes (conv_u4,conv_i4...).

Parrot codegen for C# still awaits the second coming of the prophet Zarquon..
