The main type exported by the library, BitVec, is a packed, growable bit-vector. Its API mirrors that of Vec where reasonable. The library also defines slice operations that return BitSlice or BitSliceMut, akin to Rust’s array slices but for bit-vectors. A common API to bit-vectors and bit-slices is provided by the Bits, BitsMut, and BitsPush traits, which also allow treating as bit-vectors all primitive unsigned integer types (uN), and vectors and slices thereof, as well as unpacked vectors and slices of bool.
