Multiple Bits for Flag about enumflags

[MaikKlein]

I have thought about that problem before and I am not sure what the best approach would be. I probably could add an option to allow duplicates.

Alternatively INDICATOR_NORMAL can be put outside of the enum, maybe in a function because it is just INDICATOR_IDENTIFY | INDICATOR_MUTE

Something like

impl GeneralStatus{
    pub fn normal() -> BitFlags<GeneralStatus> {
        GeneralStatus::INDICATOR_IDENTIFY | GeneralStatus::INDICATOR_MUTE
    }
}

Ideally, I would like to specify which parts of a bitfield can be orred together. In my case is doesn't make sense. INDICATOR_IDENTIFY can't be orred with an other INDICATOR_, but can with the at least 1 PORT_, and any number of (BOOT_RDM, RDM_CAPABLE, or UBEA_PRESENT).

Not sure if that sort of feature should belong in this crate though. IDK

I just tried sketching out what I wanted but it turns out I'd need powerset(n) types that each implemented BirOr for each type to do this.

Ah, I am not sure that I can easily support this use case. At least I don't see an obvious API for it. I think if I would want this to be type safe I would create another wrapper on top of it that manages the indicator bits separately.
