+Package bit aims to provide feature parity with stdlib's [encoding/hex].
+
+It's a ludicrous tragedy that hex/base16, base32, base64 all have libraries for converting
+to/from string representations... but there's nothing for binary ('01010001' etc.) whatsoever.
+
+This package also provides some extra convenience functions and types in an attempt to provide
+an abstracted bit-level fidelity in Go. A [Bit] is a bool type, in which that underlying bool
+being false represents a 0 and that underlying bool being true represents a 1.
+
+Note that a [Bit] or arbitrary-length or non-octal-aligned [][Bit] may take up more bytes in memory
+than expected; a [Bit] will actually always occupy a single byte -- thus representing
+`00000000 00000000` as a [][Bit] or [16][Bit] will actually occupy *sixteen bytes* in memory,
+NOT 2 bytes (nor, obviously, [2][Byte])!
+It is recommended instead to use a [Bits] instead of a [Bit] slice or array, as it will try to properly align to the
+smallest memory allocation possible (at the cost of a few extra CPU cycles on adding/removing one or more [Bit]).
+It will properly retain any appended, prepended, leading, or trailing bits that do not currently align to a byte.
