+// This is a small library for implementing common bit vector utilities,
+// namely:
+//
+//  - popcount : The number of bits set in an unsigned int
+//  - ctz : The number of trailing zero bits in an unsigned int.
+//          Must be called with a value that has at least 1 bit set.
+//
+// These methods will typically use instrinics when available, and have a
+// generic fallback in the event that the instrinic is not available.
+//
+// If clz (count leading zeros) is needed, it can be added when needed.
