I wonder if there is an interest in bit streams or bit queues which provide
the following member functions:
add(int n_bits, Integral x)
pop(int n_bits, Integral& x) ?

They are convenient for handling various compression algorithms and the
like.
s.add(4, 0xB)
s.pop(2, x); // x => 2
s.pop(1, x1); // x1 => 1
s.pop(1,x2); // x2 => 1

Usually we have to deal with shifts, creating our own classes when writing,
for example, compression algorithms.
