//      The following implements the BitUnion system of defining bitfields
//on top of an underlying class. This is done through the pervasive use of
//both named and unnamed unions which all contain the same actual storage.
//Since they're unioned with each other, all of these storage locations
//overlap. This allows all of the bitfields to manipulate the same data
//without having to have access to each other. More details are provided with
//the individual components.

//This namespace is for classes which implement the backend of the BitUnion
//stuff. Don't use any of these directly, except for the Bitfield classes in
//the *BitfieldTypes class(es).

//as the BitUnion names themselves are all distinct and nothing else uses
//the BitfieldUnderlyingClasses namespace, which is unlikely. The class itself
//creates a typedef of the "type" parameter called __DataType. This allows
//the type to propagate outside of the macro itself in a controlled way.
//Finally, the base storage is defined which BitfieldOperators will refer to
//in the operators it defines. This macro is intended to be followed by
