I'd better not... I just realized that I have a potential use for
this, in displaying packed bit arrays found in some device peripheral
registers.
I'd still like to know whether the existing support is used by any
language, though. If not, we can clean it up aggressively and remove
the stabs reader support for bitstrings. I suspect that it is mostly
copied and pasted from the removed Chill support.
