Avoiding `none` far at the right hand side:

    # Instead of writing:
    if longlonglongstuff == none
    if longlonglongstuff != none
    # Maybe write this:
    if unset longlonglongstuff
    if set longlonglongstuff
    # Similarly for 0
    if zero longlonglongstuff
    if nonzero longlonglongstuff


Named function arguments:

    # These probably cannot use `=`, but `:` should work:
    init_list  value:123, count:100

Pass-and-assign syntax?

    a = dostuff a
    # maybe allow it to be passed as a var-parameter
    dostuff a!
    # or have some dedicated syntax?
    a! dostuff
    # or use `given`
    given a = somelongvariable
    a = dostuff a

Bitwise operators that are intuitive:

    # It's easy to think that "AND" adds 1's and "OR" removes 1's,
    # when it's actually the other way around.

    # Maybe these names are better for OR:
    either
    bit_either
    union
    mask_any
    mask_if_either
    set_from_either
    set_if_any_set
    bits_from_either
    bit_combine
    # or, maybe even an "asymmetric" name if that allows us to
    # use more intuitive terminology:
    set_1
    set_if_present
    set_if_either_one

    # Maybe these names are better for AND:
    both
    bit_both
    intersection
    mask_both
    mask_if_both
    set_from_both
    set_if_both_set
    common_bits
    bits_in_common
    # "asymmetric" names:
    set_0
    clear_if_missing
    clear_if_either_zero
