How difficult would it be to have a getBits functions as well as a getBytes? That would allow me drop the dependency on NewBinary in the ASN.1 package.
The difficulty is in deciding what the api should be. Does it give you a real bitstream or only a byte aligned one? If I ask for 3 bits then 15 bytes what does it do? Does it assume I meant 3 bits, then pad to the next byte boundary and get 15 bytes, or does it mean get 15 bytes but at this 3 bit shift offset? Duncan
