      * Place requirement on implementation to make the return value available some how.
   * [[IPVisibilityUpdates][Done]] Steven Dovich: 218: Added new proposal for this.

   * David Bishop: Bugzilla 17 - add_carry in numeric_std as well as fixed/floating packages 
      * Is it already in the fixed and floating point packages?
   * David Bishop: Bugzilla 15 - Should numeric_bit/std have resize with size_res parameter? 
      * David proposed it for consistency with the fixed and floating point packages

   * Open: natural_vector see [[2012_MeetingNovember8][Nov 8 2012 meeting]] 
      * Can we make it closely related to integer_vector?
      * Could this also handle items like X01_vector -
