Working with raw binary digits.

If you want to use individual bits, just use 0 and 1, and the
logical operators 'and', 'or', and 'not'.  Roll your own nand,
nor, etc., in terms of these.

If you want to apply such operators to bit strings, use the
bitwise operators &, | and ~.  Roll your own nand, nor, etc., in
terms of these.

If you want to simulate hardware, that might be a different story.

Am I missing something?
