4. Robert has suggested that a SafeInt type should disable
bitwise operations like ~, &, |, ^, but I don't understand why.
The name SafeInt and the missing bitwise operations go in
tandem.
SafeInt is a math type, +-/*% nothing more. Whenever I saw
people beginning cleaver and use bitwise operations for math,
they failed. Me included.
Thats why
all bitwise ops except for shifting are fundamental math
operators just like addition and subtraction if you view an
integer as a bitstring(which is what it is...)
