I have implemented a bit sum. Pushed as version 2.8.22.
Use either %<bitsum> or %<bitsum8> for a one byte sum, %<bitsum16> for a 2 byte sum or %<bitsum32> for a 4 byte sum. (If
the sum is too large for its representation, the higher bytes will be dropped, as usual.)
I hope I implemented it correct ;-)
