Is anybody interested? Otherwise the entry could be removed from the TODO
list...

As you say, there's really no point in changing the internal
representation, and if you don't find replace() useful either, then
why are you even working on this at all?
I would like a get_bit / set_bit for bit strings, as I find them useful.
get_bit could be a simple call to substring, but
