Adding a function to a new hypothetical imath module sounds reasonable. I'm less comfortable with adding a new method to int type: it would mean that any int subtype "should" implement it. For example, should numpy.int64 get this method as well? What is the effect on https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/numbers.html? Does it make sense to call (True).popcount()?
