-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
The removal of the Num superclass from Data.Bits now means there is no
simple way to create a value in which all bits are set to zero. There are
obviously a variety of ways such a value can be constructed with the
existing methods, but nonetheless it seems like an odd omission.
The new method could be given an implementation in terms of the existing
ones for backwards compatibility.
