I'll have to mull that one over. The incoming data is a sequence of bytes that
is treated as a bitfield. Although the standard says "big-endian" it is isn't
entirely clear how this relates to the bitfields, I guess I need to read the
standard more. :-(

I guess the question is whether BitArray can work with bytes rather than
size_t as elements of the backing array.
