I vote for (a).
It was already pointed out that you can build next_address and the
other related functions out of the existing operations, so
proposal (b) wouldn't buy much.
Proposal (c) is disingenuous because it ignores the fact that NUMERIC
does not have (and cannot easily implement) most of the bitwise
operations that people might think they want here.
