It has not been implemented (yet?) but been discussed. It ended by concluding that is_power_of_2() should be fixed up first and then we can see about it. And as I stated before; !is_power_of_2(size) != (size & (size-1))! It may be a bug but then we have to be sure it is suppose to be the power of 2.
