Hi, why bitwise operations on Byte and Short are marked as experimental in the stdlib?

[karelpeeters]

I read somewhere that they're planning a set of features related to unsigned integer types and better bitwise operations, maybe that has something to do with it?

[louiscad]

Probably. The current implementations just convert the values to int before doing the operation

Hi. It looks like bitwise operations are still marked as experimental, was there any update on this since 2017?
