Say, we have a bit vector —

it's nothing better than a `Vec<bool>`, but …

what if we implement it,

and save some poor bits of memory?

## Quick Start

```rust
use bitvek::bitvec;

let vec = bitvec![
    true, true, true, true, false, false, false, false,
    false, false, false, false, true, true, true, true,
];
```

Find it cumbersome? Try this:

```rust
// The total number of bits must be a multiple of 8.
let vec = bitvec![0b11110000, 0b00001111];
```

## Memory Efficiency

To achieve memory savings, the total number of bits stored must exceed twice the machine word size in bytes, corresponding to 8 for 32-bit systems and 16 for 64-bit systems.
