I was wondering what the current status of the <bitstring> header is.  The
header is mentioned by Plauger as part of the proposed Standard C++
Library, but he goes on to say that the header may be replaced by the
STL.  I didn't see any reference to <bitstring> or the
bitstring/bit_string class in the ANSI working paper (I did find the
bitset<N> class template for fixed-length bit strings).  Is there any
variable-length bit string class in the proposed standard?  Thanks for any
info!
