20   * Supports operations on bit-mapped fields. Instances of this class can be
21   * used to store a flag or data within an {@code int}, {@code short} or
22   * {@code byte}.
23   *
24   * <p>Each {@link BitField} is constructed with a mask value, which indicates
25   * the bits that will be used to store and retrieve the data for that field.
26   * For instance, the mask {@code 0xFF} indicates the least-significant byte
27   * should be used to store the data.</p>
28   *
29   * <p>As an example, consider a car painting machine that accepts
30   * paint instructions as integers. Bit fields can be used to encode this:</p>
31   *
32   *<pre>
33   *    // blue, green and red are 1 byte values (0-255) stored in the three least
34   *    // significant bytes
35   *    BitField blue = new BitField(0xFF);
36   *    BitField green = new BitField(0xFF00);
37   *    BitField red = new BitField(0xFF0000);
38   *
39   *    // anyColor is a flag triggered if any color is used
40   *    BitField anyColor = new BitField(0xFFFFFF);
41   *
42   *    // isMetallic is a single bit flag
43   *    BitField isMetallic = new BitField(0x1000000);
44   *</pre>
45   *
46   * <p>Using these {@link BitField} instances, a paint instruction can be
47   * encoded into an integer:</p>
48   *
49   *<pre>
50   *    int paintInstruction = 0;
51   *    paintInstruction = red.setValue(paintInstruction, 35);
52   *    paintInstruction = green.setValue(paintInstruction, 100);
53   *    paintInstruction = blue.setValue(paintInstruction, 255);
54   *</pre>
55   *
56   * <p>Flags and data can be retrieved from the integer:</p>
57   *
58   *<pre>
59   *    // Prints true if red, green or blue is non-zero
60   *    System.out.println(anyColor.isSet(paintInstruction));   // prints true
61   *
62   *    // Prints value of red, green and blue
63   *    System.out.println(red.getValue(paintInstruction));     // prints 35
64   *    System.out.println(green.getValue(paintInstruction));   // prints 100
65   *    System.out.println(blue.getValue(paintInstruction));    // prints 255
66   *
67   *    // Prints true if isMetallic was set
68   *    System.out.println(isMetallic.isSet(paintInstruction)); // prints false
69   *</pre>
