FWIW: Common Lisp has rigorously transparent (that is, you cannot observe the machine word size) bigints and quite a few binary operations defined on them, so it's where I personally would look for precedent on such questions.
(a) we don't have a bignum type yet; (b) we want to JIT to concrete machine types where possible. (b) does not require clz32 vs. clz64 in my view, because of type inference or AOT type-checking (asm.js). But we don't want to require bignums.
