Unlike the other containers, there are only two bit storage containers, and when

<p>Unlike the other containers, there are only two bit storage containers, and
choosing when to use each is relatively straightforward.</p>
<p>One additional option is
<tt>std::vector&lt;bool&gt;</tt>: we discourage its use for two reasons 1) the
implementation in many common compilers (e.g. commonly available versions of
GCC) is extremely inefficient and 2) the C++ standards committee is likely to
deprecate this container and/or change it significantly somehow. In any case,
please don't use it.</p>
