=head2 Lexically scoped warning categories
You can now control the granularity of warnings emitted by perl at a finer
-level using the C<use warning> pragma. See L<warning> and L<perllexwarn>

Note that unless you have the case (a) you will have to configure
and compile Perl using the -Duse64bits Configure flag.
-Unfortunately, bit operations (&, <<, ...) and vec() do not work,
-they are limited to 32 bits.
+Unfortunately bit arithmetics (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>) are not 64-bit clean.
Last but not least: note that due to Perl's habit of always using
