[boost] Any progress in bit_iterator?

Google shows me a few links about bit_iterator.

Any progress since these messages have been posted?

Definitely, I have an interest in bit_iterator. But I don't have enough time 
to implement it :(
I see two different designs of bit_iterator. It can be implemented as a 
class that works with raw memory or as an adaptor to other iterator (which 
is dereferenced to integral type).

// Design one
struct bit_iterator
{
    bit_iterator(void* raw_memory);
    bit_iterator& operator++();
    // ...
};

// Design two

template<class Iter> Iter get_iter_for_typeof();

template<class Iter, class T = typeof(*get_iter_for_typeof())>
struct bit_iterator
{
    static_assert<is_integral<T> >;
    bit_iterator(Iter);
    bit_iterator& operator++();
    // ...
};
