I strongly doubt it. You'll have to read bytewise, and introduce a
layer of functions to slice those bytes into the required portions of
bits, and return those to the caller, while the remaining bits are
kept as internal state by those functions. I.e. you'll want to derive
your own 'bitstream' class out of an istream one.
