BigInteger.bitLength() should state explicitly that 0 will be returned when the BigInteger's value is zero. This is already specified by the pseudo-code in the method documentation, but not verbally as is done for example for the analogous method java.util.BitSet.length(). Equivalent methods are thus explicitly specified in other programming languages.
