I use it for flags, and also RT use it in some code for the same.
But the most important use, perhaps, is when you read a binary file, in the
header often you find flags in bits and you can do:

    bin: #{01}
    bt: to bitset! bin
    find bt 0

0-7 for bit is consistent with all computer science ;-)
