I guess it must mean something different, but while many embedded
processors have dedicated instructions to set or clear a bit in a
register or memory, not that common in mainstream processors afaik.

Any instruction that has a capabilty to set or clear a bit, has
bit twiddling capabilty, but I guess we have to agree to differ :-)
