Hi all,
I am not as such against adding more bit-wise functions. But, I think

etc. Unless we can just decide now to add all and those are actually
few.)
True, `bitwise_` namin

In Python this is called bit_length:
>>> (7).bit_length()

Hi Stefan,
It should work on unsigned integer types and use exact computation (not
floating-point computations like np.log2).
For an example, see
