31    What are bit-masks?
32    
33    Bit-mask is usage of one byte (8 bits) as 8 separate bits with it's own
34    meaning (this is simplification, but bear with me for now).
35    
36    So, 1 = 2^0, thus it's bit 1. With analogy, 2=2^1 and 3=2^0+2^1.
37    So, for 1-3 we use two bits and have:
38    
39    number  bits
40    1       01      (just begin bit set)
41    2       10      (just end bit set)
42    3       11      (begin and end bit set)
43    
44    Thus, with two bits (and values 1-3) we can express should we exact match from
45    beginning, end or both. For wild-card match, we use additional bit 3 (2^3 = 4)
46    so we have:
47    
48    number  bits    exact match
49    1       001     begin
50    2       010     end
51    3       011     begin+end
52    4       100     (not used)
53    5       101     (4+1) begin+wild-card
54    6       110     (4+2) end+wild-card
55    7       111     (4+3) begin+end+wild-card
