Infinite precision intermediate arithmetic: how much would break?
One reason that twos-complement ends up working well is that in the same sense as 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = -1/2, you can easily see that 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ... = -1: S = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ... 2S = 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... 2S - S = (2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ...) - (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ...) S = -1 and thus `0b111...111` being -1 is, in a sense, more mathematically correct than treating it as a sign-magnitude representation. So infinite precision bitops are thus really not a problem at all.

There is a lot of buzz about Commodore 64 Ultimate - and interesting to see that in the list of pre-loaded game tiles, there is "Metal Warrior IV" by Covert Bitops, where also I composed one of the background tunes back in 2003 😅😁 That was a nice surprise was sure 😎 | www.commodore.net/pressplay

Constant-time selection intrinsics
Noratrieb: > other backends like Cranelift That one, at least, appears to not be an issue: `InstBuilder::select_spectre_guard`. * * * As for making it available, TBH I think that since we don't _actually_ offer any constant-time guarantees for any other things either (we're _allowed_ to have input-dependent timings even for things like bitops), I think we should just have it available under a long name that expresses the intent (notably a different _intent_ from select_unpredictable in std::hint - Rust, even if it tends to _encode_ identically) and if it's not constant-time we shrug and say "well, that sounds like an architecture backend problem". After all, you can't use a constant-time selection intrinsic to make a constant-time crypto algorithm without checking the assembly output anyway; this is just another thing you need to check.
