Minor tweaks, but otherwise looks good. When those are changed, will approve and commit. Thanks for the PR!

Pull Request Overview
This PR adds support for generating bitfield enums in the go-enum tool. When the --bitfield flag is used, enum values are generated as bit fields using the 1<<iota pattern instead of sequential values.
- Adds a new
--bitfieldCLI flag to enable bitfield enum generation - Implements validation to prevent bitfields with string types or manually set values
- Updates the enum template to generate values using bit shift operations when bitfield mode is enabled

- Missing validation for incompatible flag combination:
--bitfieldand--no-iotaare mutually exclusive. The bitfield feature requires iota to generate the bit shift expressions (1<<iota), but no-iota disables iota usage. This combination should be validated and rejected with a clear error message.
// Validate incompatible flag combinations
if argv.NoParse && argv.MustParse {
return fmt.Errorf("--noparse and --mustparse are incompatible: MustParse requires the Parse method to exist")
}

I have added the tests. I also notice that the error was never printed (only the enum was skipped). |

Please use Sentinel errors to determine if we should print the error or not. There are other errors in there that do not need to be printed, and would just cause a bunch of noise.

And it should actually fail the call if these particular errors should stop processing, which it should do.

Moved the prints back where they were and add bitfield error as sentinel error that are returned out of the Generate function. |

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new bitfield mode is wired through the CLI, but combining it with --no-iota currently generates sequential values instead of one-bit flags, so generated enums can be incorrect for that invocation; merge should wait for this combination to be rejected or implemented explicitly. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

BitFieldforwarding in the integration test.The new assertion checks only that
--bitfieldsetsargv.BitField. It does not check theGeneratorConfigreceived by the generator. The copied integration action at Lines [1831-1854] omitsBitField, so it cannot detect a broken CLI-to-generator path. Add the field to that configuration and execute one integration case with--bitfield.Proposed test coverage

Handle --bitfield with --no-iota.
When both options are enabled, $noIota selects directVal before $bitField is evaluated. The generated values are 0, 1, 2, ..., not bit values. Reject this option combination or emit explicit 1 << index values in the noIota branch.

Document the compatibility policy for GeneratorConfig.
GeneratorConfig is exported, and BitField was inserted before BuildTags. Downstream unkeyed literals must provide exactly one value for every field in declaration order, so they can fail to compile and later field positions change. The inspected repository callers use keyed literals. If unkeyed literals are supported, preserve the existing configuration shape; otherwise document the restriction and release this as a breaking API change.

As discussed in #172 it would be nice to have an option to generate the enum values as bit fields.
This pull request add a new option to generate the enums with
1<<iota.It tries this with minimal impact on the template and the rest of the code.
To keep it simple it forbids the combination of this new option with custom values.
It also adds an example with a test for the new bitfield option.
