bitter eases working with low level legacy code, where people tend to use
most cryptic and often not very efficient bit operations.
C++11 provides std::bitset, which brings a nice interface for frequent
operations like setting, resetting and testing of bits. So, if you have an
option, use std::bitset always, but if you work on C or legacy code you
might consider using bitter.
Besides, with bitter you can arbitrarily mix integral and std::bitset
types.
