Comment (by sjamaan):

 hm, I just noticed we already have a {{{bit-set?}}} in CHICKEN 4 (earlier,
 I thought I had introduced this mistake with the numeric tower change).

 Changing its argument order is likely to introduce some '''extremely'''
 hard to find bugs in existing programs that are ported from CHICKEN 4 to
 CHICKEN 5.

 On the other hand, porting existing programs from other Schemes is likely
 to cause problems too if we keep the current argument order.

 How should we deal with that? Should we just bite the bullet and reverse
 the order, or should we stick with the order we have?
