I sometimes dream about alternative implementations of sequences. We could obsolete bitwise operations and use sequences with logical operations instead. Just as we have atoms which could be implemented as 30-bit ints or double floating points in a structure, sequences could also be either the struct s1 we have now and a special one such that each member was only one bit. I mean with no syntax changes. You implemented 8-bit members in sequences. Did you do it without changing the syntax or did you have this as a hidden implementation detail? How did that change affect performance?
