/// A simple bit vector that does not support rank and select queries.
/// Bits are stored in little-endian order, i.e. the least significant bit is stored first.
/// The bit vector is stored as a sequence of 64 bit limbs.
/// The last limb may be partially filled.
///
/// The bit vector has a wide range of constructors that allow for easy creation from various
/// sources.
/// Among them are constructors for creating an empty vector ([`BitVec::new`]),
/// creating one from single bits of various integer types ([`BitVec::from_bits`] and variations),
/// creating limbs from u64 values directly ([`BitVec::from_limbs`] and variations),
/// or packing a sequence of numerical values into a dense bit sequence
/// ([`BitVec::pack_sequence_u64`] and variations).
///
/// The bit vector can be modified after creation
/// (e.g. by appending [bits](BitVec::append_bits)
/// or [words](BitVec::append_word),
/// [flipping](BitVec::flip_bit),
/// or [setting](BitVec::set) bits).
/// Bits can be [accessed](BitVec::get) by position,
/// and [multiple bits](BitVec::get_bits) can be accessed at once.
/// Bits can be [dropped](BitVec::drop_last) from the end.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use vers_vecs::{BitVec, RsVec};
///
/// let mut bit_vec = BitVec::new();
/// bit_vec.append_bit(0u64);
/// bit_vec.append_bit_u32(1u32);
/// bit_vec.append_word(0b1010_1010_1010_1010u64); // appends exactly 64 bits
///
/// assert_eq!(bit_vec.len(), 66);
/// assert_eq!(bit_vec.get(0), Some(0u64));
/// assert_eq!(bit_vec.get(1), Some(1u64));
