Can you be more specific about what sort of bit manipulation you want to
do? Some bit manipulation is built into the language. For example, a
packed array of Booleans has "and", "or", "xor", and "not" built in.
Also, modular types have these operations.
Extracting bit fields from words can be done by declaring a one-word
record with a pragma Pack, or a record_rep_clause.
I assume you want something else...
