All the code currently bears the BSD-ish SRFI license (see any SRFI).  As
the author, however, I hereby grant permission to change the license and/or
the copyright ownership on the Guile version of bitwise-other and the tests
to LGPL if that is useful to Guile.  Let me know if there is formal
paperwork to fill out.

Being understandable rather than obscurantist poses certain
risks, in that one's opinions are clear and therefore falsifiable
in the light of new data, but it has the advantage of encouraging
