On [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/sage-
devel/wt2mTIH80NM sage-devel] I expressed my unease that negative integers
have "negative bits". Strictly speaking, there is some inconsistency here,
but the behavior is reasonable -- though it warrants some improved
documentation.
Attached patch adds documentation for bits() to explain this.
