+#  intstr() -- Creates a string consisting of the raw bits in the low
+#  order "size" bytes of integer i.
+#
+#  This procedure is normally used for processing of binary data
+#  to be written to a file.
+#
+#  Note that if large integers are supported, this procedure still
+#  will not work for integers larger than the implementation defined
+#  word size due to the shifting in of zero-bits from the left in the
+#  right shift operation.
