trivia:
It's generally faster to use bool instead of u8 foo:1;

Ok, but I'm not changing that in this patch.
(And actually, bool will take a lot more memory, right?)

No worries, and bool is the same size as u8.

Exactly what I'm talking about :-). One byte vs. one bit, right?

Memory isn't bit addressable.
So it's the same byte, it just doesn't use a read/modify/write
operation to update a value.
