Bug Description

I think chapter 6.3 of the manual concerning Modular arithmetic should be
extended by some examples actually demonstrating a mathematical operation.
(i.e. (logand #xFFFFFFFF (+ x y)) etc.)

Perhaps the example should also demonstrate how the mask can be
computed automatically at compile-time to reflect the word size on
the compilation host.
