 * This file provides the basis for processing "indexed bits" (i.e. every bit has an index).
 * The main purpose of this file is to define how bits are indexed within a memory buffer.
 * For example, one has to define whether the first bit is the least or most significant bit and
 * how endianness affect the bit order.
 *
 * The order is defined as follows:
 * - Every indexed bit is part of an #BitInt. These ints are ordered by their address as usual.
 * - Within each #BitInt, the bits are ordered from least to most significant.
