Well if you manage to come up with more such routines, then sure, we
can create a separate category like that.

Well your functions basically are just an extension of boolean math,
it's just that they get applied multiple times, once per each bit :)
But I agree that they might create confusion for the user who doesn't
understand the theory behind.

I think that would be considered "out of scope" for now, although with
the plans to eventually support arbitrary precision, complex numbers
and whatnot, this might be a worthwhile addition as well, we'll see.
You may want to create a wishlist item over at bugs.kde.org.
