One more thing:
"Doesn't C++ support strings, bit arrays, etc. with STL?"..."How much 
confidence can you have that this [std::string] is all working 
correctly, how do you fix it if it is not?"

The "how do you fix it?" argument applies even moreso to a built-in 
implementation of string than a library one.  So I'd strike that bit.
