Return the value that is the bitwise OR of the specified `lhs` and `rhs` arrays. The length of the resulting bit array will be the maximum of that of `lhs` and `rhs`, with any unmatched high‐order bits copied unchanged. Note that this behavior is consistent with zero‐extending a copy of the shorter array.
