That's why you use bitfields instead and then never ever
worry again about having enough bits :)
That's my suggestion for patch level 12 - switch from
bitvectors to bitfields!!
Of course, putting in bitfields (there is an example on
the ftp site using patch level 8 code) will break any OLC
you may have... one of these days I'll have to get around
to making a bitfields version of Oasis or obuild.
Which OLC do you use? If you send email to me privately,
I'll make a tally and see what the OLC of choice is :)
I'd also be interested in knowing if anybody else uses
bitfields.
