[Enhancement Request] bitwise operations for value manipulation

[ubuntufreakdragon]

some values are bitmasks for flags
e.g.
some science experiment has the values
situationMask and biomMask representing the allowed places for experiment execution and whether there are different results in different bioms.
where
1 landed
2 splashed
4 low atmosphere
8 high atmosphere
16 low space
32 high space
for manipulating these I need bitwise 'or' and 'and' ('|' '&')
because 12 + 16 == 28 == 12 | 16 but 12 + 24 == 36 == 32 + 4 != 16 | 8 | 4 == 12 | 16
