Implementation Note:
This class is immutable and thread-safe. The bits of the bit chromosome are backed by a byte[] array with the following layout: 
 
  Byte:       3        2        1        0
              |        |        |        |
  Array: |11110011|10011101|01000000|00101010|
          |                 |        |      |
  Bit:    23                15       7      0
