//      The following implements the BitUnion system of defining bitfields
//on top of an underlying class. This is done through the pervasive use of
//both named and unnamed unions which all contain the same actual storage.
//Since they're unioned with each other, all of these storage locations
//overlap. This allows all of the bitfields to manipulate the same data
//without having to have access to each other. More details are provided with
//the individual components.

//This class wraps around another which defines getter/setter functions which
//manipulate the underlying data. The type of the underlying data and the type
//of the bitfield itself are inferred from the argument types of the setter
//function.
