Comment:
I have created a package with bindings to GCC's built-in bit operations,
which normally exploit native instructions and are thus faster than an
implementation in terms of current Data.Bits primitives:
* Browse: http://dev.wikidev.net/hg/bits-extras/file/tip
* Checkout using Mercurial: {{{hg clone http://dev.wikidev.net/hg/bits-
extras}}}
This fills my current needs, but is just a stop-gap until GHC has full
support for these operations. Ticket #4102 discusses native support for
these higher-level operations in GHC.
