And it's fine. It has remark about overlapping in case of readability and 81
characters on one line is fine as some cases when it is up to ~83 (for old
style).

Anyways, it doesn't worth of spending more time on this. Your choice then.

I haven't checked if it affects current code. Consider this as heads up,
because developers often forget about this nuance of bitmap_fill() /
bitmap_clear().

I thought about that, but since it's a mix of the bits, it might not be so
universal anyway, I would rather think of something which uses 1-bit bit
fields unified under a bit mask, and not a mix of 2 or more bits.
