/// The two main differences against [`Vec<bool>`] is that each element stored as a single bit,
/// thereby:
/// * it uses 8x less memory
/// * it cannot be represented as `&[bool]` (i.e. no pointer arithmetics).
///
/// A [`MutableBitmap`] can be converted to a [`Bitmap`] at `O(1)`.
/// # Examples
/// ```
/// use polars_arrow::bitmap::MutableBitmap;
///
/// let bitmap = MutableBitmap::from([true, false, true]);
/// assert_eq!(bitmap.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![true, false, true]);
///
/// // creation directly from bytes
/// let mut bitmap = MutableBitmap::try_new(vec![0b00001101], 5).unwrap();
/// // note: the first bit is the left-most of the first byte
/// assert_eq!(bitmap.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![true, false, true, true, false]);
/// // we can also get the slice:
/// assert_eq!(bitmap.as_slice(), [0b00001101u8].as_ref());
/// // debug helps :)
