.. py:function:: int_to_bits(n: int, num_bits: int = 8, clamp: bool = False, as_list: bool = False) -> Union[str, list[int]]

   Convert an integer into a string of its bits, padded out to <num_bits> bits
   If clamp=True and the binary representation of <n> has more than <num_bits> bits, then leading bits will be discarded
   If as_list=True, will return as list of 0/1 ints; otherwise, will return as string
