Script Preparation code:

var BITWISE_FEATURE_A = 1;
var BITWISE_FEATURE_B = BITWISE_FEATURE_A<<1;
var BITWISE_FEATURE_C = BITWISE_FEATURE_B<<1;
var BITWISE_ENABLED = BITWISE_FEATURE_A ^ BITWISE_FEATURE_C;

var STRING_FEATURE_A = "yellow_scrollbar";
var STRING_FEATURE_B = "green_box";
var STRING_FEATURE_C = "blue_banner";
var STRING_ENABLED = STRING_FEATURE_A + STRING_FEATURE_C;

Tests:

Bitwise - Existing
BITWISE_ENABLED & BITWISE_FEATURE_A == BITWISE_FEATURE_A
Bitwise - Non-Existing
BITWISE_ENABLED & BITWISE_FEATURE_B == BITWISE_FEATURE_B
String - Existing
STRING_ENABLED.indexOf(STRING_FEATURE_C) != -1
String - Non-Existing
STRING_ENABLED.indexOf(STRING_FEATURE_B) != -1
