title: BitArray and XOR
body: <p>I'm looking for an operator based way of working with bit masks and bitwise boolean operations (XOR / NOR / OR / AND / NOT / EQV / etc).  Generally I <em>really</em> like an extension method style approach, but in this case, I find it a little messy.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a terser way of working with bits in C#?</p>
  
  <pre><code>        BitArray a = new BitArray(0x001);
          BitArray b = new BitArray(0x100);
          BitArray c = new BitArray(0x010);
  
          BitArray test = a | b;   // won't compile
          BitArray test2 = a ^ c;  // won't compile
  
          BitArray test3 = a.Or(b);   // compiles
          BitArray test4 = a.Xor(c);  // compiles
  </code></pre>
