[Design question] mask construction using custom value

[Przemyslaw Karpinski]

Hello everyone,

Mask classes provide no assignment operator or a constructor constructing masks from basic types. While I think adding the assignment operator might result in an incorrect usage of the masks, the construction of mask using integer constants can still be useful while not posing additional significant overheads during runtime.

Is there a plan to add such functionality? If not, then why and is there a workaround for assigning mask with custom, non-uniform value, that does not require modifications in VC code?

Kind regards,
Przemysław Karpiński.
