I'm with you but sometimes you don't have the chance in low level. Max you can do is create local variables just so the bits you're XORing are more obvious. And whenever you're working with something where that'd be wasteful and the compiler doesn't rid if it, you're better off with comments (which you need to maintain, ugh)
