 - Bitwise operations for integers: `band`, `bor`, `bxor`, `bnot`, `<<` and `>>`.
 - `Int.mulmod` - combined builtin operation for multiplication and modulus.
 - `Crypto.poseidon` - a ZK/SNARK-friendly hash function (over the BLS12-381 scalar field).
 - `Address.to_bytes` - convert an address to its binary representation (for hashing, etc.).
 - Raw data pointers added to AENS. In short we have introduced a new namespace
   `AENSv2`; they contain types similar to the old `AENS`; `AENS.name` and
-  `AENS.pointee`, where the latter now has a constructor `DataPt(string)`. All
