Re: Bits from a stream

@Peter:
Ah, I see.

Anyway, after opening a file, it would be best to first execute
(read-bit-reset) to reset the reader's closure.

In fact, I would probably have also written some sort of
(open-input-bit-stream) that does the open with (unsigned-byte 8) and
then does a (read-bit-reset), which I could then encapsulate out by
creating a new closure instead of resetting it - pretty much what
Zach's library does using objects.

@Zach:
Is there some sort of license to the code you posted a pointer to? I
assume it's sort of public domain?
