alt Hacker NewsI heard the C++ guys regret defining vector<bool> using 1 bit per value.
Also for most code it will be premature optimization to worry about that.

From what I can tell in a cursory web search, that regret is more about issues with C++ being unable to abstract that field vs bit divergence properly, not about the concept of having the specialization be bit-based, which is sound.
