BITRSHIFT Returns a number shifted right by the specified number of bits.
BITXOR Returns a bitwise 'XOR' of two numbers.

IF Checks a condition, and returns one value when TRUE, otherwise it returns a second value.
IF.EAGER Checks a condition, and returns one value when TRUE, otherwise it returns a second value. Uses an eager execution plan which always executes the branch expressions regardless of the condition expression.
