As documented, these bitwise functions only deal with sets of 32-bits, so therefore there are no 'top' bits outside those 32 bits. Also as documented, these functions only work on the lower 32-bits of any value presented to them; other bits are ignored.
So http://oe.cowgar.com/docs/eu400_0057.html#_1511_bitwiseoperations is out of date?

Another approach might be to have a with option that suppresses certain runtime checks such as large values in bitwise functions.
Not on my account. As I see it, what I said was either right or wrong, not somewhere inbetween. Your call, I'm not really bothered. And no, I'm not offended or sulking, it is genuinuely no skin off my nose either way.
