This enables generic code to reliably operate on the bits of an encoded field element, by converting them to and from a known (little) endianness. The BitAnd and Shr bounds on PrimeField are now removed, as users can perform these operations themselves as needed.
pairing 
pairing is a crate for using pairing-friendly elliptic curves.
Currently, only the BLS12-381 construction is implemented.
Roadmap
pairing is being refactored into a generic library for working with
pairing-friendly curves. After the refactor, pairing will provide basic traits
for pairing-friendly elliptic curve constructions, while specific curves will be
in separate crates.
Documentation
Bring the pairing crate into your project just as you normally would.
