Bitwise operators are essential for many low-level, high-performance operations, such as checksum or hashing. Thus, covering the complete set of bitwise operators can improve Build-it's capability. At the same time, compound assignments can increase the code readability when using these operators.
This patch adds the unary bitwise negation operator (i.e., ~) and the binary bitwise XOR operator support (i.e., ^). Moreover, it adds support for compound assignments for the bitwise AND, XOR, and OR operators (i.e., &=, ^=, |=, respectively).
