/// Generate a bitwise mask for the lower `n` bits.

/// # Examples

/// ```rust
/// # use minimal_lexical::mask::lower_n_mask;
/// # pub fn main() {
/// assert_eq!(lower_n_mask(2), 0b11);
/// # }
/// ```

/// Calculate the halfway point for the lower `n` bits.

/// # Examples

/// ```rust

/// # pub fn main() {

/// # }
