-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Given the common use cases for Data.Bits, it seems strange that there is
no instance for Bool. Previously, the Num superclass was a reason not to
include one, as there are valid objections to a Num Bool instance.
However, this superclass requirement has now been removed, so I think
adding a Bits Bool instance would be a good idea.
I have attached a local implementation which I am using, but it may not
entirely match the intended semantics of Bits.
