excel vba check if specific bits are set in longlong

'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set 
'within a 64-bit LongLong integer. If ALL specified bits are set then 
'this function returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are
'not set then this function returns False.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 63, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: bits can be specified in any order.
'Note: any number of bits can be specified in one call.
'Note: the LongLong data type is only available in 64-bit VBA.

    Static i&, b^()
    If UBound(bits) = -1 Then Exit Function
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then
