Bitwise OR the value of the specified `rhs` array with the value of this array (retaining the results), and return a non&hyphen;`const` reference to this object&period; If `length() &gt; rhs&period;length()`, the unmatched most&hyphen;significant bits in this array are left unchanged&semi; otherwise, any unmatched most&hyphen;significant bits in `rhs` are propagated to the result without modification&period; Note that `a &verbar;&equals; b&semi;` will result in the same value of `a` as `a &equals; a &verbar; b&semi;`&period;
