Main classes manipulating bits

The BitVector interface is the basis for bit vector manipulation. The LongArrayBitVector implementation is its main implementation. The idea is to offer an efficent but easy-to-use bit-vector class by allowing access under many different views. For instance, a bit vector can be seen as a LongBigList of integers of fixed width. Or as a sorted set of integers, where the positions of the bits set to one represent elements.

Whenever another object has to be turned into a bit string, you can provide a TransformationStrategy to that purpose. The static container TransformationStrategies has several ready-made transformations, and some useful wrapping methods.
