PROTECT and UNPROTECT bitset! #977

If we can PROTECT and UNPROTECT bitset! values, this will make global bitsets safer to use.

== make bitset! #{0040000080}
>> protect ws
== make bitset! #{0040000080}

Good one. Happens because:

>> series? make bitset! "123"
== false

Was that change the correct decision?

Yes. We should add back bitset! to functions where it is useful to do so, like these.
