am i only one who wonders, what's the point of this, where's a practical use case? using the bit. library is still more straightforward and reliable, without any 'magical' strings in code

#

i know about lua 5.4 and its bitwise operators, but this not even close to them, there no backward compatibility

Something tells me that these would be slower than just using the bit library. I haven't actually benchmarked it yet, but it doing an extra function call and allocating more strings is probably gonna make it slower...

#

I guess the only thing it has going is it looking "nicer" but that falls apart because according to the comment at the top sometimes they need to be in brackets which doesn't look nice

#

It's a cool and clever idea but it's not practical
