How often do you need the xor operator?

The reason for that is that they inherit from integers.  That method is the
usual bitwise integer xor.

No.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
