[cfe-dev] [libc++] Why doesn't libc++ define std::vector<bool>::const_reference as bool?

[Shafik Yaghmour via cfe-dev]

Actually Howard explains this non-conformance in a self answer Stackoverflow question "Why is libc++'s vector<bool>::const_reference not bool?”:

According to the C++ Standard (section [vector.bool]), std::vector<bool>::const_reference should be defined as bool. libc++ defines it as std::__1::__bit_const_reference<std::__1::vector<bool, std::__1::allocator<bool>>>]. Is this divergence from the standard intentional? If it is, what is the purpose?
