; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       bitValue = BitGet(number, bit)
;
; INPUT_PARAMETERS:
;
;       number:          The input number. Should be a scalar integer. If not, it is converted to
;                        one by rounding.
;
;       bit:             The number of the bit you are interested in. A value between 0 and 63.
;                        If not supplied, all 64 bit values of the number are returned. May be
;                        an array of bit numbers.
;
; OUTPUT_PARAMETERS:
;
;      bitValue:        The value, 0 or 1, of the specified bit in the number.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;     SILENT:           If set, suppresses informational messages regarding rounding operations.
