The choice of the data structure to hold the flags is open to discussion.
I considered:
 - std::bitset
 - uint64
 - vector<bool> (storage optimized specialization is mandated by the standard)

The size of std::bitset is determined at compile time, boost:dynamic_bitset brings the boost dependency, so I went with vector<bool> because the structure will be non empty in exceptional cases. I preferred to not put a limit on function arity or deal with potential multiple bitfields.

No strong opinion though, comments are welcome.
