I want the bitwise ops. Although we could do a bitfield operator function:
check_bitfield(number, number_bit_mask), ala:
I'd still prefer '&' though :)

Well, I think the patch you sent me was incomplete. It WAS broken, eudora

< head = buffer_truncate(buff, size);
< tail = buffer_tail(buff, size+1);
Do:
head = buffer_truncate(buff, size);
tail = (| buffer_tail(buff, size+1) |) || `[];
(just a suggestion)
