Discussion:

C++14 17.5.2.1.3 Bitmask types [bitmask.types] paragraph 4 specifies:

The following terms apply to objects and values of bitmask types:

• To set a value Y in an object X is to evaluate the expression X |= Y.
• To clear a value Y in an object X is to evaluate the expression X &= ~Y.
• The value Y is set in the object X if the expression X & Y is nonzero.

The TS should use these forms where applicable throughout the document.
