Apply bitwise or to binary data

> 0x[88 cc] | bits or 0x[42 32]
Length: 2 (0x2) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000:   ca fe                                                ××

Apply bitwise or to binary data of varying lengths with specified endianness

> 0x[c0 ff ee] | bits or 0x[ff] --endian big
Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000:   c0 ff ff                                             ×××

Apply bitwise or to input binary data smaller than the operor

> 0x[ff] | bits or 0x[12 34 56] --endian little
