Mmm probably the first change I'd do is

struct BitArray(INT = size_t)

  It should more precise size control letting you make larger than 
2^32bits in an array. If there's an objection to this I'd need to 
know before I began (Not that it changes any functionality).

  I'll go over it and see what I can do. Strange, as I'm looking 
it over it looks remarkably similar to my incomplete one. Not 
seeing any support for slices, I'll probably add that 
functionality.
