If it did, how could you unset a default style?  Such is the problem with 
bitmasks.  The individual bits aren't tri-valued (i.e. true, false, and null).  
They are bi-valued (true, false), and thus there is no way to specify null, 
which means the constructor can only assume that the unset bits are intended to 
be false since the alternative would prevent overriding a default-true bit with 
a false value.

No.
