Research direction

Start by running cargo tree and searching the Cargo manifests and source for the bitmaps crate at version 2.1.0. Compare the affected usage with the recommended fixedbitset and bitvec alternatives, then run the relevant test suite; done means bitmaps is no longer used and the project still builds and tests successfully.
