This package implements bitwise and bit-field operations on byte slices in the Go language. These are functions that I wish were in the Go standard library's bytes package, or perhaps a subpackage that might be called bytes/bits.

For full API information please see the Godoc documentation.

In brief, the package includes:

• Insertion and extraction of bit-fields of arbitrary bit widths at arbitrary bit offsets in a byte slice.
• Insertion and extraction of single bits and fixed-length integers at arbitrary bit offsets in a byte slice.
• Support for big-endian and (soon) little-endian bit-ordering.
• Bitwise And, AndNot, Or, Xor, and Not on byte slices.
• LeadingZeros, TrailingZeros, and OnesCount on byte slices.

I hope you find it useful! Pull requests welcome.
