I would prefer the bit twiddling.  It should compile to a single XOR instruction, whereas a conditional would result in a branch, jump, and two move instructions if it is inlined (correct me if I'm wrong here).  If the bit twiddling is well documented, and wrapped in a macro or function, then it should be just as clear what is going on as if we had used a branch.

As you said, to allow the bit twiddling bellow.  Also to allow CS_None to represent false.

Unfortunately this is an artifact of me trying to clear my patch backlog.  These are to represent statically known information about tests and Boolean combinations of tests.  The enum is removed in the next patch.  I could combine the two, but then the patch would get rather large.

Next patch set makes it private.

These are simple accessors into the discriminated union.  An assert is added in the next patch set to ensure the PropagationInfo object is in the correct state before returning the union value.

Removed in the next patch.  Sorry that that is the response to so many of these.
