The complement of a finite set.

In this case, the set of nonzero bit positions of a positive long is a 
finite set of natural numbers, as is the set of zero bit positions of a 
negative long.  So the set of nonzero positions of a negative long and 
the set of zero positions of a positive long are cofinite.
