    (*
       [word] is the type of n-bit words, or n-bit unsigned integers.

       [wordSize] is the value of n above.  In Moscow ML, n=31 on 32-bit
       machines and n=63 on 64-bit machines.

       [orb(w1, w2)] returns the bitwise `or' of w1 and w2.

       [andb(w1, w2)] returns the bitwise `and' of w1 and w2.

       [xorb(w1, w2)] returns the bitwise `exclusive or' or w1 and w2.

       [notb w] returns the bitwise negation of w.

       [<<(w, k)] returns the word resulting from shifting w left by k
       bits.  The bits shifted in are zero, so this is a logical shift.
       Consequently, the result is 0-bits when k >= wordSize.

       [>>(w, k)] returns the word resulting from shifting w right by k
       bits.  The bits shifted in are zero, so this is a logical shift.
       Consequently, the result is 0-bits when k >= wordSize.

       [~>>(w, k)] returns the word resulting from shifting w right by k
       bits.  The bits shifted in are replications of the left-most bit:
       the `sign bit', so this is an arithmetical shift.  Consequently,
       for k >= wordSize and wordToInt w >= 0 the result is all 0-bits, and
       for k >= wordSize and wordToInt w <  0 the result is all 1-bits.

       To make <<, >>, and ~>> infix, use the declaration
                              infix 5 << >> ~>>

       [+]
       [-]
       [*]
       [div]
       [mod] represent unsigned integer addition, subtraction,
       multiplication, division, and remainder, modulus 2 raised to the n'th
       power, where n=wordSize.  The operations (i div j) and (i mod j)
       raise Div when j=0.  Otherwise no exceptions are raised.

       [<]
       [<=]
       [>]
       [>=] compare words as unsigned integers.

       [compare(w1, w2)] returns LESS, EQUAL, or GREATER, according
       as w1 is less than, equal to, or greater than w2 (as unsigned integers).

       [min(w1, w2)] returns the smaller of w1 and w2 (as unsigned integers).

       [max(w1, w2)] returns the larger of w1 and w2 (as unsigned integers).

       [fmt radix w] returns a string representing w, in the radix (base)
       specified by radix.

         radix    description                     output format
         ------------------------------------------------------
          BIN     unsigned binary      (base  2)  [01]+
          OCT     unsigned octal       (base  8)  [0-7]+
          DEC     unsigned decimal     (base 10)  [0-9]+
          HEX     unsigned hexadecimal (base 16)  [0-9A-F]+

       [toString w] returns a string representing w in unsigned
       hexadecimal format.  Equivalent to (fmt HEX w).

       [fromString s] returns SOME(w) if a hexadecimal unsigned numeral
       can be scanned from a prefix of string s, ignoring any initial
       whitespace; returns NONE otherwise.  Raises Overflow if the scanned
       number cannot be represented as a word.  An unsigned hexadecimal
       numeral must have form, after possible initial whitespace:
            [0-9a-fA-F]+

       [scan radix getc charsrc] attempts to scan an unsigned numeral from
       the character source charsrc, using the accessor getc, and ignoring
       any initial whitespace.  The radix argument specifies the base of
       the numeral (BIN, OCT, DEC, HEX).  If successful, it returns
       SOME(w, rest) where w is the value of the numeral scanned, and rest
       is the unused part of the character source.  Raises Overflow if the
       scanned number cannot be represented as a word.  A numeral must
       have form, after possible initial whitespace:

         radix    input format
         -------------------------------------
          BIN     (0w)?[0-1]+
          OCT     (0w)?[0-7]+
          DEC     (0w)?[0-9]+
          HEX     (0wx|0wX|0x|0X)?[0-9a-fA-F]+

       [toInt w] returns the (signed) integer represented by bit-pattern w.
       [toIntX w] returns the (signed) integer represented by bit-pattern w.
       [fromInt i] returns the word representing integer i.

       [toLargeInt w] returns the (signed) integer represented by bit-pattern w.
       [toLargeIntX w] returns the (signed) integer represented by bit-pattern w.
       [fromLargeInt i] returns the word representing integer i.

       [toLargeWord w] returns w.
       [toLargeWordX w] returns w.
       [fromLargeWord w] returns w.
