Could work fine, as long as you make sure the indexes (indices) are
positive. They aren't ids so much as real, unsigned integer indexes
into the vector. If you do a perldoc Bit::Vector and look for
"negative" you'll see the full explanation.
I did my counting backwards hack mostly to avoid allocating another
250MB of RAM with another set of Bit::Vector objects, *and* to allow
positive and negative integers.
Still haven't gotten to cleaning up the patch to a bare minimum.
Hopefully I'll get to it tonight.
