Description: ::bit(n) behaves "differently" if applied to bit strings
than integers.
Details:
It's probably not good (at least for mathematicians!) to have the following
give different results:
select B'1110110101'::bit(6);
select B'1110110101'::integer::bit(6);
The first gives 110101 (the 6 least significant bits).
The second gives 111011 (the 6 most significant bis).
