Or... and just throwing this out there... developers can take responsibility to know what bitwise operators do the same as they know what "+" does. The three lines of code were: for ( ... ) {
x = x << y
} The developer was essential using an array of booleans to simulate a bitwise operator. It is very sad that devs these days need a comment to know what that does. Would we expect 7 lines of comments if it was: for ( ... ) {
x = x + y;

Yes but they won't. Pragmatically speaking adding a comment to explain a concept the next developer won't use very often means you won't need to answer their questions about it when they next need to modify that piece of code. That's a big win for you, and it means the other developer can carry on being productive.
