   I have thought about this before. The issue here is that derive-style macros can't change the code, only add more. This means that an attribute-style macro (#[bitflags]) would be needed.

   I can see two ways forward here:

   1. Add the attribute macro alongside the derive macro. Downsides: potentially confusing to users, increased maintenance burden.
   2. Replace the derive macro with an attribute macro. Downsides: breaking change.
      2b. As above, but with a transition period, and perhaps a deprecation warning.

   I'll think about this some more.
