This is another reason why I am proposing <avr/bit.h>, because it will 
supply a *full* range of bit manipulating macros. Newbies can go use the 
macros which should be easy to select, and they can always look inside 
at how they're implemented and maybe learn a thing or two.

Let me know what you think about adding this. Perhaps for a future 1.2.2?
