I'd expected that *any* really means *any* and do not refer to
binary.
Yes. Neither do 'use', 'for' and 'purpose'. Establishing that
it is likely that ~ is referring to binary requires some more
context (eg. it is likely that the two usages of ~ in his post
refer to the same thing), common sense or the assumption that
Jonathan probably knows about the unary usage. (Parsing natural
language is quite hard though, so I could be wrong.)
Spoken like a true human Compiler. :)
