NAME
    Bit::Vector::Minimal - Object-oriented wrapper around vec()

SYNOPSIS
      use Bit::Vector::Minimal;
      my $vec = Bit::Vector->new(size => 8, width => 1, endianness => "little");
      # These are the defaults

      $vec->set(1); # $vec's internal vector now looks like "00000010"
      $vec->get(3); # 0

DESCRIPTION
    This is a much simplified, lightweight version of Bit::Vector, and wraps Perl's (sometimes
    confusing) "vec" function in an object-oriented abstraction.

METHODS
  new
    Creates a new bit vector. By default, this creates a one-byte vector with 8 one-bit "slots",
    with bit zero on the right of the bit pattern. These settings can be changed by passing
    parameters to the constructor: "size" will alter the size in bits of the vector; "width" will
    alter the width of the slots. The module will die if "width" is not an integer divisor of
    "size". "endianness" controls whether the zeroth place is on the right or the left of the bit
    vector.

  set(POS[, VALUE])
    Sets the bit or slot at position "POS" to value "VALUE" or "all bits on" if "VALUE" is not
    given.

  get(POS)
    Returns the bit or slot at position "POS".

  display
    Display the vector. For debugging purposes.
