I think he is talking about:

reg |= 1<<7

does the same as
bsf reg,7

The cool thing is that you can do the C thing in a macro, and if the
PIC compiler is good enough, it will optimize this out for you to BSF.
SourceBoost (was C2C) does this optimization and ships with macros for
setting bits, making it very ANSI and PIC friendly. The code is very
portable.
