     I was implementing this using &, | and ~ for the bitwise operators AND,
     OR and NOT, and then realized that & is already being used as a
     string concatenation operator.
     
     Ideas?

~  is also used for something isn't it?

We need 4 operators: AND OR NOT XOR

In the circumstances, I suppose they will have to be two character 
combinations.How about:

.&   AND
.|   OR
.~   NOT
.^   XOR

Would that conflict with anything?
