sometype swap_bits_2and5(sometype mumble)
{
    sometype bit2, bit5;

    bit2 = mumble & (sometype)0x04;
    bit5 = mumble & (sometype)0x20;
    return (mumble ^ (bit2|bit5)) | (bit2<<3) | (bit5>>3);
}

Depending on the actual type of the value, some of those casts may not be
necessary.

And now, inquiring minds want to know:  Why on earth do you want to do this?
