FLEX bitwise utilities.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What are FLEX bitwise functions used for?">
    Bitwise functions perform low-level binary operations on integers. Common use cases include managing permission flags, toggling feature bits, and performing binary arithmetic in Cypher queries.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What data type do bitwise functions operate on?">
    All FLEX bitwise functions operate on integer values and return integer results. Non-integer inputs will produce unexpected results.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I call a bitwise function?">
    Use the namespace `flex.bitwise.<function>()`. For example: `flex.bitwise.and(5, 3)` returns `1`.
