reverses the order of its bits e.g. `0b110001` becomes `0b100011`.
These primitives use optimized machine instructions when available.
+- Add Int# multiplication primop:
+
+ timesInt2# :: Int# -> Int# -> (# Int#, Int#, Int# #)
+
+ `timesInt2#` computes the multiplication of its two parameters and returns a
+ triple (isHighNeeded,high,low) where high and low are respectively the high
+ and low bits of the double-word result. isHighNeeded is a cheap way to test
+ if the high word is a sign-extension of the low word (isHighNeeded = 0#) or
+ not (isHighNeeded = 1#).
