Migrated from rt.perl.org#123707 (status was 'resolved')

From @cpansprout

The new ops &. |. ^. ~. and the strictly-numeric behaviour of & | ^ ~ under the
‘bitwise’ feature are being added as an experiment in perl 5.22.0. This ticket
will collect bugs and other acceptance-criteria tickets to track before these
new ops can be considered accepted or failed in a future version of perl.

perl.

This feature has been in three stable releases of perl, with no changes to the implementation as far as I can remember. As evidenced by ticket #132589, this feature is actually being used in the wild, and the only bug report it has had is not actually a bug in Perl, but in a module.

I suggest we accept this feature as stable for 5.28, and enable it with ‘use v5.28‘.

Makes sense. Any objections?

There weren’t any, so I have gone ahead with this and merged by branch in commit b566b29.
