Bit ordering: this package now supports writing bits in different orders. You can indicate if bytes are filled from MSB to LSB (the mode we had until now) or vice-versa, and you can indicate if words you write are stored with the MSB first (what we had until now) or with the LSB first. Bit skipping: you can now skip a given amount of bits in BitGet and BitPut. In the latter, bits written are considered undefined (currently we write zeroes but you shouldn't rely on this). Byte alignment: you can now skip an undetermined number of bits in BitGet and BitPut to align the cursor on the next byte. If the cursor is already on a byte boundary, the cursor doesn't move. MSB: most-significant bit(s) LSB: least-significant bit(s)
