+<h3><a id="description">Description</a></h3>
+<p>The <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> class represents a set of bits. It
+provides accesses to the value of individual bits via an
+<tt>operator[]</tt> and provides all of the bitwise operators
+that one can apply to builtin integers, such as
+<tt>operator&amp;</tt> and <tt>operator&lt;&lt;</tt>. The number
+of bits in the set is specified at runtime via a parameter to the
+constructor of the <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>The <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> class is nearly identical to the
+<a href=
+"https://boost.org/sgi/stl/bitset.html"><tt>std::bitset</tt></a>
+class. The difference is that the size of the
+<tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> (the number of bits) is specified at
+run-time during the construction of a <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt>
+object, whereas the size of a <tt>std::bitset</tt> is specified
+at compile-time through an integer template parameter.</p>
+
+<p>The main problem that <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> is designed to
+solve is that of representing a subset of a finite set. Each bit
+represents whether an element of the finite set is in the subset
+or not. As such the bitwise operations of
+<tt>dynamic_bitset</tt>, such as <tt>operator&amp;</tt> and
+<tt>operator|</tt>, correspond to set operations, such as
+intersection and union.</p>

+<h3><a id="definitions">Definitions</a></h3>
+
+<p>Each bit represents either the Boolean value true or false (1
+or 0). To <i>set</i> a bit is to assign it 1. To <i>clear</i> or
+<i>reset</i> a bit is to assign it 0. To <i>flip</i> a bit is to
+change the value to 1 if it was 0 and to 0 if it was 1. Each bit
+has a non-negative <i>position</i>. A bitset <tt>x</tt> contains
+<tt>x.size()</tt> bits, with each bit assigned a unique position
+in the range <tt>[0,x.size())</tt>. The bit at position 0 is
+called the <i>least significant bit</i> and the bit at position
+<tt>size() - 1</tt> is the <i>most significant bit</i>. When
+converting an instance of <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> to or from an
+unsigned long <tt>n</tt>, the bit at position <tt>i</tt> of the
+bitset has the same value as <tt>(n &gt;&gt; i) &amp; 1</tt>.</p>

+
+<h3><a id="rationale">Rationale</a></h3>
+<p>
+<tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> is not a <a href=
+"https://boost.org/sgi/stl/Container.html">Container</a> and
+does not provide iterators for the following reason:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>A container with a proxy <tt>reference</tt> type can not
+fulfill the container requirements as specified in the C++
+standard (unless one resorts to strange iterator semantics).
+<tt>std::vector&lt;bool&gt;</tt> has a proxy <tt>reference</tt>
+type and does not fulfill the container requirements and as a
+result has caused many problems. One common problem is when
+people try to use iterators from <tt>std::vector&lt;bool&gt;</tt>
+with a Standard algorithm such as <tt>std::search</tt>. The
+<tt>std::search</tt> requirements say that the iterator must be a
+<a href=
+"https://boost.org/sgi/stl/ForwardIterator.html">Forward
+Iterator</a>, but the <tt>std::vector&lt;bool&gt;::iterator</tt>
+does not meet this requirement because of the proxy reference.
+Depending on the implementation, they may or not be a compile
+error or even a run-time error due to this misuse. For further
+discussion of the problem see <i>Effective STL</i> by Scott
+Meyers). So <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> tries to avoid these problems
+by not pretending to be a container.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Some people prefer the name "toggle" to "flip". The name
+"flip" was chosen because that is the name used in <a href=
+"https://boost.org/sgi/stl/bitset.html"><tt>std::bitset</tt></a>.
+In fact, most of the function names for <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt>
+were chosen for this reason.</p>
+
+<p><tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> does not throw exceptions when a
+precondition is violated (as is done in <tt>std::bitset</tt>).
+Instead <tt>assert</tt> is used. See the guidelines for <a href=
+"http://www.boost.org/community/error_handling.html">Error and Exception Handling</a>

+ issue 438</a>. That is a <em>post <tt>C++03</tt></em>
+change, and is currently in the working paper for
+<tt>C++0x</tt>. Informally speaking, the critical changes with
+respect to <tt>C++03</tt> are the drop of a <tt>static_cast</tt>
+on the second argument, and more leeway as to <em>when</em> the
+templated constructor should have the same effect as the (size,
+value) one: only when <tt>InputIterator</tt> is an integral
+type, in <tt>C++03</tt>; when it is either an integral type or
+any other type that the implementation might detect as
+impossible to be an input iterator, with the proposed
+resolution. For the purposes of <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> we limit

+
+<b>Effects:</b> Inserts a textual representation of b into the stream
+<tt>os</tt> (highest bit first). Informally, the output is the same as doing
+
+<pre>
+std::basic_string&lt;Char, Traits&gt; s;
+boost::to_string(x, s):
+os &lt;&lt; s;
+</pre>
+
+except that the stream inserter takes into accout the locale imbued into
+<tt>os</tt>, which <tt>boost::to_string()</tt> can't do. Here is a more
+precise specification, given in terms of "as if" rule: first, for each

+in <tt>[0, b.size())</tt>,
+
+ <tt>s[i] is character_of(b[i])</tt>
+
+Then, the output, the effects on <tt>os</tt> and the exception behavior

+ <tt>typename std::basic_istream&lt;Char, Traits&gt;::sentry k(is)</tt>.
+
+If <tt>bool(k)</tt> is true, it calls <tt>b.clear()</tt>
+then attempts to extract characters from <tt>is</tt>. For each character c
+that is a <i>bitset digit</i> the <i>corresponding bit value</i> is

+If <tt>is.width()</tt> is greater than zero and smaller than <tt>b.max_size()</tt>
+then the maximum number <tt>n</tt> of bits appended is <tt>is.width()</tt>;
+otherwise <tt>n</tt> = <tt>b.max_size()</tt>.
+
+Unless the extractor is exited via an exception, characters are extracted (and
+corresponding bits appended) until any of the following occurs:<br />

+<ul>
+<li> <tt>n</tt> bits are stored into the bitset;</li>
+<li> end-of-file, or an error, occurs on the input sequence;</li>
+<li> the next available input character isn't a bitset digit</li>

+<br />If the function extracts no characters[???], it calls is.setstate(std::ios::failbit),

+<li>Warning fixes on MSVC 2013.</li>
+<li>Support for C++11 minimal allocators.</li>

+<h4><i>Changes from Boost 1.31.0</i></h4>
+<ul>
+<li>
+The stream extractor has completely different semantics: as natural
+for a dynamic structure, it now expands the bitset as needed during
+extraction. The new behaviour mimics that of the <tt>basic_string</tt>
+extractor but there are some differences the user should be aware of;
+so, please, check the <a href="#op-in">documentation</a>. (One
+difference concerns the case where <code>stream.width() &gt;
+ bitset.max_size() &gt; 0</code>. In that circumstance the
+extractor of <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt> never attempts to extract more
+than <tt>max_size()</tt> characters, whereas the extractor of
+<tt>basic_string</tt> goes on and, on conforming implementations,
+eventually throws a <tt>length_error</tt> exception. Note: That's what
+the standard mandates -see especially <a
+ href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#83">library
+ issue 83</a>- but not all implementations conform)
+<br /><br />
+The stream extractor is now also "exception-aware" in the sense that
+it works correctly when setting exception masks on the stream.
+<br /><br />
+</li>
+<li>
+Several member functions (<tt>empty()</tt>, <tt>find_first()</tt>
+, <tt>find_next()</tt>, <tt>get_allocator()</tt>, <tt>intersects()</tt>
+, <tt>max_size()</tt> <!--, <tt>reserve()</tt>, <tt>capacity()</tt> -->)
+have been added.
+</li>
+<li>
+The constructor from <tt>basic_string</tt> has a new parameter that was totally
+forgotten before.
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+<i>Technicalities and minor changes</i>
+<ul>
+<li>
+The class <tt>reference</tt> has been reimplemented so that
+dynamic_bitset's references behave more like references to standard
+container elements. In particular it is now guaranteed that they
+cannot be invalidated from a standard library swap() function
+applied to their corresponding <tt>dynamic_bitset</tt>s.
+</li>
+</ul>
+<i>General improvements</i>
+<ul>
+<li>
+Several optimizations to member and non-member functions and to the
+nested class <tt>reference</tt>.
