Re: [boost] Request for interest in new library : Bit Logic

I was surprised not to find the least_significant_ bit_index and  
most_significant_bit_index functions.  These can be heavily optimized  
using binary search and logical and/or manips for integral types,  
compared to a loop, so it would be especially worth having in your  
collection.
