/**
 * <p>Supports operations on bit-mapped fields. Instances of this class can be
 * used to store a flag or data within an {@code int}, {@code short} or
 * {@code byte}.</p>
 *
 * <p>Each {@code BitField} is constructed with a mask value, which indicates
 * the bits that will be used to store and retrieve the data for that field.
 * For instance, the mask {@code 0xFF} indicates the least-significant byte
 * should be used to store the data.</p>
 *
 * <p>As an example, consider a car painting machine that accepts
 * paint instructions as integers. Bit fields can be used to encode this:</p>
 *
 *<pre>
 *    // blue, green and red are 1 byte values (0-255) stored in the three least
 *    // significant bytes
 *    BitField blue = new BitField(0xFF);
 *    BitField green = new BitField(0xFF00);
 *    BitField red = new BitField(0xFF0000);
 *
 *    // anyColor is a flag triggered if any color is used
 *    BitField anyColor = new BitField(0xFFFFFF);
 *
 *    // isMetallic is a single bit flag
 *    BitField isMetallic = new BitField(0x1000000);
 *</pre>
 *
 * <p>Using these {@code BitField} instances, a paint instruction can be
 * encoded into an integer:</p>
 *
 *<pre>
 *    int paintInstruction = 0;
 *    paintInstruction = red.setValue(paintInstruction, 35);
 *    paintInstruction = green.setValue(paintInstruction, 100);
 *    paintInstruction = blue.setValue(paintInstruction, 255);
 *</pre>
 *
 * <p>Flags and data can be retrieved from the integer:</p>
 *
 *<pre>
 *    // Prints true if red, green or blue is non-zero
 *    System.out.println(anyColor.isSet(paintInstruction));   // prints true
 *
 *    // Prints value of red, green and blue
 *    System.out.println(red.getValue(paintInstruction));     // prints 35
 *    System.out.println(green.getValue(paintInstruction));   // prints 100
 *    System.out.println(blue.getValue(paintInstruction));    // prints 255
 *
 *    // Prints true if isMetallic was set
 *    System.out.println(isMetallic.isSet(paintInstruction)); // prints false
 *</pre>
