Base 36 constructor

[WORMSS]

Hello, For input, you have 0b101010101010 and 0xa6e etc etc..

You have the ability to do const b36 = BitSet('10101010110101010101010101010').toString(36)
But not sure how to get it back in const bs = BitSet(b36)

I am sure you are gonna say it's not possible.. but I just wanted to confirm that something like BitSet(b36, 36) didn't exist?

Well, Bitset.js has two static functions BitSet.fromHexString and BitSet.fromBinaryString. Currently there is no option for an arbitrary base, but I think it would be a nice addition. Maybe something like BitSet.fromString(str, base)`, what do you think?

Constructor, static function, I am easy either way.. ❤️

I was just looking through your parse(P, val) to see if it was possible.. I got a little confused by the len = 8 for hexidecimal part, so I was unsure what would be needed for passing in 36 or even arbitrary lengths..

The len is just max block length, that is cut out at each time. For base 2 it's 32, for 16 it's 8, for a general base b it would be Math.log(2**32) / Math.log(b). However, this only makes sense for 2^k-bases with the current implementation. And I think implementing a static function is much cleaner, instead of coming up with an arbitrary prefix, such as 36:XYZ or something.
