| 5 | <str1> and <str2> are both bitstrings. The result of the function |
| 6 | is a bitstring with the binary-xor of <str1> and <str2>, |
| 7 | ie. a string in which a bit is set only if the corresponding |
| 8 | bits in either <str1> or <str2> (but not both) is set. |

| 18 | -> s3 is now "0 (", ie. a bitstring with bits 4 and 15 set. |
