/**
* 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}.
*
* 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.
*
* As an example, consider a car painting machine that accepts
* paint instructions as integers. Bit fields can be used to encode this:
*
*
* // 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);
*
*
* Using these {@code BitField} instances, a paint instruction can be
* encoded into an integer:
*
*
* int paintInstruction = 0;
* paintInstruction = red.setValue(paintInstruction, 35);
* paintInstruction = green.setValue(paintInstruction, 100);
* paintInstruction = blue.setValue(paintInstruction, 255);
*
*
* Flags and data can be retrieved from the integer:
*
*
* // 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
*
