I've recently thought about upgrading Nmap's bit library to Mike
Pall's BitOp library [1] that is generally considered the successor to
Reuben Thomas's bitlib (even the author recommends BitOp). Problem is,
Lua 5.2 (probably released in a couple weeks) will be adding a bit
library and I'm not sure if we want to bother upgrading to BitOp when
we'll probably end up switching to the one that comes with Lua.
