Re: [boost] [assign] operators+= and -= for set/reset bits in std::bitset

I would usually consider "set bit at indices 1,3,4,5 to true" to yield "00111010", but it depends which direction you like to write your bitset bits...

It should have the same effect as: bitset<8> bits; bits.set(1); bits.set(3); bits.set(4); bits.set(5); Anything else would be terribly confusing. Note that this corresponds to "00111010".
