It's not strictly necessary to get things right for all platforms; we
already have some accelerations using asm statements which only work
for one platform already --- although it's already the case that I
didn't bother to make 64-bit set/clear/test bit optimizations for x86,
mainly because I didn't think it was worth it, especially on modern
CPU's.  (And with the red/black tree backend for bitmaps, the asm
bitops are even less important.)
