will be used in subsequent bitset
operations such as <tt>resize</tt> to allocate memory. Note that, e.g., the
following
<br /><br />
<tt>
dynamic_bitset b<>( 16, 7 );
</tt><br /><br />
will match the <a href="#cons4">constructor from an iterator range</a> (not this
one), but the underlying implementation will still "do the right thing" and
construct a bitset of 16 bits, from the value 7.
