Is it true on every platform that 0xf == 15?
Is it also true on every platform that for bitwise operations, C
behaves as if it is on a two's complement machine, so that, e.g., the
result of 0xf & 0x2 is 0x2, even if the machine representation of
0xf is 1010 and 0x2 is 0101 [think hypothetical here 8^)]?
