class BanditMask
  module Banditry
    ##
    # Creates wrapper methods for reading and writing the bitmask stored in
    # +attribute+ using the class +with+. +with+ defaults to BanditMask, but
    # you can (and probably) should define your own class descending from
    # +BanditMask+ to fill this role. The name of the accessor methods will be
    # derived from +as+, e.g., if +as+ is +:foo+, the reader method will be
    # +:foo+ and the writer will be +:foo=+.
    #
    # The reader method will call BanditMask#bits to get an array of the
    # enabled bit names represented by +attribute+.
    #
    # The writer method will replace the current bitmask with an Integer
    # representation of a new BanditMask built up using BanditMask#<<.
    #
    # In addition to the accessor methods, a method named +has?+ will be added
    # which delegates to the BanditMask#include?.
    #
    #   class ThingMask < BanditMask
    #     # ...
    #     # bit :foo, 0b1
    #     # ...
    #   end

    #   class Thing
    #     attr_accessor :bitmask
