No. You will have to use macros or the like to turn an array of ints
into a bitmask. Don't forget to think about endianness, should the
data ever leave your code.
Do you just want a type with different minimum and maximum values?
If yes, then consider simply scaling the ranges to 32bit, using
assertions, or simple error checking instead.
