Code Inspection: Pointless bitwise expression

Reports pointless bitwise expressions. Such expressions include and ing with zero, or ing by zero, and shift by zero. Such expressions may be the result of automated refactorings not completely followed through to completion, and in any case are unlikely to be what the developer intended to do.
