 ==========================================================================================================================================
   Safe_bit_field                    - type-safe class for bit fields.
   Safe_bit_const                    - type-safe class for bit constants.
   Safe_bit_field is designed to be a [almost] drop-in replacement for integer flags and bit fields where individual bits are set and checked
   using symbolic names for flags:

      typedef unsigned long Labels_t;
      Labels_t labels;
      const Labels_t Label_A = 0x00000001;
      const Labels_t Label_B = 0x00000002;
      ...
      labels |= Label_B;
      if ( labels & Label_A ) { ... }

   Such code offers no protection against mismatching bit constants and bit fields:

      typedef unsigned long Kinds_t;
      Kinds_t kinds;
      const Kinds_t Kind_A = 0x00000004;
      ...
      if ( kinds & Label_A ) { ... } // Error but compiles

   Safe_bit_field is a drop-in replacement which generates a unique type for each bit field. Bit fields of different types cannot be applied
   to each other:

      LOKI_BIT_FIELD( unsigned long ) Labels_t;
      Labels_t labels;
      LOKI_BIT_CONST( Labels_t, Label_A, 1 );                                // 0x0001 - 1st bit is set
      LOKI_BIT_CONST( Labels_t, Label_B, 2 );                                // 0x0002 - 1st bit is set
      ...
      LOKI_BIT_FIELD( unsigned long ) Kinds_t;
      Kinds_t kinds;
      LOKI_BIT_CONST( Kinds_t, Kind_A, 3 );                                  // 0x0004 - 1st bit is set
      ...
      if ( kinds & Label_A ) { ... } // Does not compile

   Several other kinds of bit field misuse are caught by safe bit fields:

      if ( kinds & Kind_A == 0 ) { ... }
      if ( kinds && Kind_A ) { ... }

   There are few cases where drop-in replacement does not work:

   1. Operations involving bit fields and unnamed integers. Usually the integer in question is 0:

         Labels_t labels = 0;  // No longer compiles
         if ( ( labels & Label_A ) == 0 ) { ... } // Also does not compile

      The solution is to use named bit constants, including the one for 0:

         LOKI_BIT_CONST( Labels_t, Label_None, 0 );                               // 0x0000 - No bit is set
         Labels_t labels = Label_None; // Or just Labels_t labels; - constructor initializes to 0
         if ( ( labels & Label_A ) == Label_None ) { ... } // // Or just if ( labels & Label_A ) { ... }

   2. I/O and other operations which require integer variables and cannot be modified:

         void write_to_db( unsigned int word );
         Labels_t labels;
         write_to_db( labels ); // No longer compiles

      This problem is solved by reinterpreting the bit fields as an integer, the user is responsible for using the right
      type of integer:

         write_to_db( *((Labels_t::bit_word_t*)(&labels)) );
