I'd prefer to have 8 bit math available... but I take your point.
BTW In my exmple I should have used bitor rather than or
from my previous post
......
I expected the binary_int to be in boost namespace.
I would expect use of mpl maths on binary_int
e.g
typedef boost::binary_int<0001> left;
typedef boost::binary_int<0010> up;
typedef mpl::bitor_<left,up>::type left_n_up;
.....
