Bit-select, Part-select, Truncate, extend (signed / unsigned)

related to #2

Shouldn't be able to slice beyond bounds?

data is 32-bit

Verilog-ish

data[7]
data[7:0]
8'(data)  // annoying to parse
128'(data)
128's(data)
{16'b0, foo} // don't want the user to do math
{{16{foo[15]}, foo}} // are you kidding me?

WAL

(slice data 7)
(slice data 7 0)
(trunc data 8)
(zext data 128)
(sext data 128)

Chaining operator

data.bit(7)
data.slice(7, 0)
data.trunc(8)
data.zext(128)
data.sext(128)
