These three are unlike the others... ISSET(), CLR(), and SET()  
operate on masks, whereas the other ones operate on bit positions.   
So, you would either have to change the usage of these three macros  
to match the bit position semantics (otherwise confusion would  
flourish), or these should be called BITMASK_ISSET(), BITMASK_CLR(),  
BITMASK_SET() (so much for saving the extra typing!).
