FWIW, I do want to argue for a different way to spell that.  It seems
like a mighty generic function name --- in particular, there's no
hint of the word width we're rotating in.  Maybe "rotate32" would be
good enough, though I'm tempted to propose "pg_rotate32" or "rotate_bit32"
or some other variation on that.
