If the table doesn't need to grow in use, what about
std::bitset<size_t>? If it does need to grow, then std::vector<bool> is
intended to serve this purpose, though some people have reservations
about vector<bool>. However, so long as the table is small enough to fit
into cache, it's probably quite acceptable for this problem.

Not to be rude, but isn't anybody but me interested in this?
