Subject: bit-struct and arrays of members?

Hi,

I'm using the bit-struct [1] (which is just awesome, btw) and wondering
how I can realize arrays of members.

I'm reading binary data from pre-existing files which are based on C
structs which look similar to this basic example:

struct {
  int vector[5];
  ...
} vector_t;

My current solution is to just write:

class Vector < BitStruct
  default_options :endian => :little
  signed vector_1, 32
  signed vector_2, 32
  signed vector_3, 32
...

I would prefer to use an array. I couldn't figure out how to do it,
there's no example with it and I start to think it's not possible ... ?

thanks,
- Markus
