There is also std::bitset.

If you care about performance, please keep in mind that we only need the
quick "is it there?" test for the field names Squid actually tests for,
not all the field names somebody may find in some RFC. If allocating
larger vectors is more expensive than a small std::bitset, and you
expect those allocations happen at runtime after warmup, then you may
want to reduce the number of field names that can be tested for.
