Class BinAttribute<T>

Lightweight attribute wrapper representing a value that is stored in a single integer attribute, encoded in binary using a subset of bits. A standard int has 32 bits, which can be used to encode multiple different values, especially since amoebot memory is limited and will never use integer values this large.
