Boost::GIL offers such functionality already. There, you can create
bit_aligned images with up to 5 channels in all combinations possible.
Like:

typedef bit_aligned_image1_type< 11, gray_layout_t>::type gray11_image_t;

or

typedef bit_aligned_image1_type< 10, 11, 12, rgb_layout_t>::type
rgb101112_image_t;

etc.

Were you thinking of such a functionality?
