# This script implements the most common unary and binary bitwise operations
# on 8-bit (1-byte) values. The format of the input is:
#
# C BYTE[ BYTE]
#
# Where C is one of the commands defined below and, BYTE is an 8-bit value
# represented by 0s and 1s. The square brackets denote an optional
# value---some operators are unary (require one argument) and others are
# binary (require two arguments).
#
# For example:
#
# ^ 11100001 11110000
#
# will XOR the two bytes to produce `00010001'. Whereas:
#
# < 11111111
#
# will perform a logical left shift to produce `11111110'.
#
# Equality is a special operator: we first XOR the two values and then check
# to see if all bits are unset. If so, then the values are identical, and
# all bits are set; otherwise, all bits are cleared. For example:
#
# = 11100011 11100011
#
# will result in `11111111'. A non-match results in `00000000'.
#
# The regexes below all follow common patterns. To make that pattern clear,
# some regexes may do useless things (e.g. `.\{0\}') so that they are
# well-aligned.
#
# Transformations use `:' and `.' as intermediate values to represent 1 and
# 0 respectively. This is necessary to ensure that one regex does not
# operate on the replacement of another (for example, NOT replacing 0 with 1
# and then replacing 1 with 0 immediately thereafter; or the dual-use of OR
# with XOR).
#
# Below, A denotes the first byte and B the second. The term ``set'' refers
# to a bit with a value of 1 and ``clear'' a value of 0.
#
# (This could have been implemented more concisely by branching in a loop,
# but I want to be clear that this is being done with vanilla replacements
# using regexes and that such loops are not needed.)
#
# Note that all regexes operate at a fixed position; this makes them
# suitable as a template for general-purpose use in larger pattern spaces.

# need not do anything, because the result will always be clear. Otherwise,
