Package Usage: go: github.com/prysmaticlabs/go-bitfield
Package bitfield is an abstraction type for bitfield operations.
A bitfield is also known as a Bitlist or BitvectorN in Ethereum 2.0 spec.
Both variants are static arrays in that they cannot dynamically change in
size after being constructed. These data types represent a list of bits whose
value is treated akin to a boolean. The bits are in little endian order.
The key difference between a bitvector and a bitlist is how they track the
number of bits in the array. A bitvectorN is known to have N bits at compile
time, so the length is always N no matter how the bitvector is instantiated.
Whereas the bitlist can be created with size N at runtime. The bitlist uses
the most significant bit in little endian order to indicate the start of the
bitlist while in the byte representation.
