Declaring and using a bit field enum in Swift

Question

How should bit fields be declared and used in Swift?

Declaring an enum like this does work, but trying to OR 2 values together fails to compile:

enum

@Mattt's very famous "NSHipster" has an extensive detailed description of the RawOptionsSetType : http://nshipster.com/rawoptionsettype/

It includes a handy Xcode snipped:

struct <# Options #> : RawOptionSetType, BooleanType {
    private var value: UInt = 0
    init(_ value: UInt) { self.value = value }
    var boolValue: Bool { return value != 0 }
    static func fromMask(raw: UInt) -> <# Options #> { return self(raw) }
    static func fromRaw(raw: UInt) -> <# Options #>? { return self(raw) }
    func toRaw() -> UInt { return value }
    static var allZeros: <# Options #> { return self(0) }
    static func convertFromNilLiteral() -> <# Options #> { return self(0) }

    static var None: <# Options #>          { return self(0b0000) }
    static var <# Option #>: <# Options #>  { return self(0b0001) }
    // ...
}
