## To avoid the compiler replacing bitwise boolean operations

## by conditional branches, we don't use booleans.

## We use an int to prevent compiler "optimization" and introduction of branches

## Hardy primitives are memory-backend agnostic.
|
||
|
|
## Hardy integers can be stored in an opaque stack array
|
||
|
|
## or a seq or even a string.

## Allocations is left to the client library.
|

|
|
## Note that constant-time allocation is very involved for
|

|
|
## heap-allocated types (i.e. requires a memory pool)
