Hi!

Shouldn't there be a rotate bits left and rotate bits right operator? The
way I have seen rotate done

is pretty ugly. There are instructions in x86 and other instructions sets
for rotation. Why not have it in the C++ standard?



NB! I have not checked if this question have been asked a million times
before.



Regards

Kjetil
