+<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<bool></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>
