I guess we can extend u8 into u16 or more if necessary in the future.

interesting idea! took me some time to realize the potential
of such semantics, but now I like it a lot.
It blends 'set good flag' with 'which flags are supported' logic
into single helper. Nice.
Thanks for adding a test for both ways.

Eric, does this approach address your concerns?
