+ * \brief Bitstring manipulation functions.
+ *
+ * A bitstring is a packed array of bits, stored in a contiguous
+ * sequence of octets. The "most significant bit" (msb) of a bitstring
+ * is the high bit of the first octet. The "least significant bit" of a
+ * bitstring is the low bit of the last octet.
+ *
+ * Two bit numbering schemes are supported, "msb0" and "lsb0".
+ *
+ * In the "msb0" scheme, bit number 0 designates the most significant bit,
+ * and any padding bits required to make the bitstring a multiple of 8 bits
+ * long are added to the least significant end of the last octet.
+ *
+ * In the "lsb0" scheme, bit number 0 designates the least significant bit,
+ * and any padding bits required to make the bitstring a multiple of 8 bits
+ * long are added to the most significant end of the first octet.
+ *
+ * E.g., consider the bitstring "11010001111". This bitstring is 11 bits
+ * long and will take two octets. Let "p" denote a pad bit. In the msb0
+ * encoding, it would be
+ *
+ * \verbatim
+ * Octet 0 Octet 1
+ * |
+ * 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 | 1 1 1 p p p p p
+ * ^ | ^
+ * | |
+ * bit 0 bit 15
+ * \endverbatim
+ *
+ * In the lsb0 encoding, it would be
+ *
+ * \verbatim
+ * Octet 0 Octet 1
+ * |
+ * p p p p p 1 1 0 | 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
+ * ^ | ^
+ * | |
+ * bit 15 bit 0
+ * \endverbatim
