 During recent work I found a need for primitive bitwise operations that
 work on `Int#` type. Currently existing `and#`, `or#`, `not#` and `xor#`
 !PrimOps work on `Word#`, which requires writing explicit conversions
 using `int2Word#` and `word2Int#`. It would be most helpful to have
 equivalent `andI#`, `orI#`, `notI#` and `xorI#` !PrimOps.
