Proposed resolution:

Add to synopsis in [template.bitset]

explicit bitset( const char* str );

Add to synopsis in [bitset.cons]

explicit bitset( const char* str );

Effects: Constructs a bitset as if bitset(string(str)).

A small issue with std::bitset: it does not have any constructor taking a string literal, which is clumsy and looks like an oversigt when we tried to enable uniform use of string and const char* in the library.

Suggestion: Add

explicit bitset( const char* str );

to std::bitset.
