Knowing what (x & 1) is is a superpower? What about (x + x) ?

I'll cop to knowing half the x86 hex opcodes is a tad unusual, like knowing all 
the dialog to Star Trek TOS, but not (x & 1).

(Before you ask, the opcodes applies to me, the STTOS applies to at least 3 
people I know.)

If you want isOdd() for your own personal library, feel free. Putting it into 
Phobos, however, is not happening.
