OK, what you are saying is that I have misinterpreted the behavior of bit,
which I thought only did a conversion, but in fact sets the zero-th
bit of a bit string. I have checked that this i

Here is my trivial program:
import Bits
main = putStr (show(bit 0::Int)++" "++show (mybit 0))
mybit:: Int -> Int
mybit x = setBit (bit 0) x
The output (with GHC-5) is
1 1
My question: Why is (bit 0) equal to 1 and not 0? That first bit is set
regardless of the value of x (I have tried
