This is a good idea, although rotate may be seldom enough used not to warrant 
its
own (possibly overloadable) operator.  std.intrinsic might be a better place for
rotate.  On the other hand, rotate is a single ASM instruction, at least on x86.
In a close to the metal language, there needs to be a straightforward, efficient
way to access it.
