At last found what I was trying to convey.
A new class >>BinaryInt(n: Integer *, bits,signed=False)
It should accept float values.(now >> "bin(5.8)".. will raise an error).
BinaryInt(-2,4)
0b1110
I would expect this to be an error, as 'unsigned' binary integers can't
be negative, or perhaps accept the C-like wrapping characteristics which
would get you the above value.
Int(BinaryInt(-2,4)) In this case would be 14.
BinaryInt(5,4)
0b0101
BinaryInt(-2,4,True)
-0b010
I would expect that to be 0b1110, i.e. signed BinaryInts use their MSB
as the sign bit, and the others as value bits, not to have a separate
sign outside the bits.
