I would like to have truly bitwise operators for my expressions. Here is my scenario.

I have a bitwise flag in my dataset which defines the status of a value. It can have up to 15 possible values set as true in one field. The issue is, that there doesn't appear to be any way that I can perform a check in my expression.

 I don't want to add 15 additional columns to my dataset that explicitly set these as true as that's total overkill.

The Logical/Bitwise operators article details that there are "bitwise" operators, but these are logic only. This forum post confirms this.
