Well it says the same thing about AND and OR too, and the two of course

for IMP in high level programming also.

&, ~, |, << and >> are frequently used in C. ^ is used less frequently.
All map directly to i86 instructions. SAL is the same as SHL where SAR
differs from SHR and depends on signed/unsigned. ~ is NOT, 1's complement.

I'm not saying there never has been a use but it hasn't had the masses
clamoring for it either in HLL or machine instructions.

That's your new mission. Find a non-trivial use.  No long story, no
complicated setup.
