|         The program <a href="../../../test/integer_mask_test.cpp" target="_top">integer_mask_test.cpp</a>
 | |
|         is a simplistic demonstration of the results from instantiating various examples
 | |
|         of the bit mask class templates.

|         The class templates in this header are an extension of the <a class="link" href="integer.html" title="Integer Type Selection">integer
 | |
|         type selection class templates</a>. The new class templates provide the
 | |
|         same sized types, but also convenient masks to use when extracting the highest
 | |
|         or all the significant bits when the containing built-in type contains more
 | |
|         bits. This prevents contamination of values by the higher, unused bits.
