/*
See https://yourbasic.org/golang/bitmask-flag-set-clear/ for more information.
To use this, set constants like thus:
const (
OPT1 types.MaskBit = 1 << iota
OPT2
OPT3
// ...
)

type Object struct {
Opts BitMask
}

o := Object{
BitMask: uint8(0)
}

o.AddFlag(OPT1)
o.AddFlag(OPT3)


This would return true:
o.HasFlag(OPT1)
As would this:
o.HasFlag(OPT3)
But this would return false:
o.HasFlag(OPT2)
