/**
 *  The <code>BinaryOut</code> data type provides a basic capability for
 *  converting primitive type variables ({@code boolean}, {@code byte},
 *  {@code char}, {@code int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and {@code double})
 *  to sequences of bits and writing them to an output stream.
 *  The output stream can be standard output, a file, an OutputStream or a Socket.
 *  Uses big-endian (most-significant byte first).
 *  <p>
 *  The client must {@code flush()} the output stream when finished writing bits.
 *  <p>
 *  The client should not intermix calls to {@code BinaryOut} with calls
 *  to {@code Out}; otherwise unexpected behavior will result.
