They are not *that* obvious. Logical operations on ints have allowed users to 
forget about size (and shoot themselves in the foot from time to time). Or is
1^(~1) == -1 obvious ? Well, maybe that's not sane either :-)

I didn't get before that the array behavior really *defined* the bytes 
behavior. 
OK, I'll keep that in mind.
