Rotate the bits in an integral-class variable.

ROTATE {LEFT | RIGHT} ivar, count

ivar must be one of the integral-class variable types: Byte, Word, Integer, Double-word, Long-integer, or Quad-integer.  count is the number of bits by which to rotate ivar.  ROTATE rotates all the bits in ivar without special regard to the sign bit of a signed integral-class variable.
