boolean sequence

in C++ if you have an array of 100 boolean (0 or 1) values it will take only 100
bits (the C++ "bitset" class exists), in euphoria same array will take
32*100bits, 32x more memory. so if you have very large array, there is big
difference between 1 MB and 32 MB. 1 MB will quickly allocate, 32 MB will take
long to allocate.

does in euphoria exist any such library? similar library could exist for array
with char types (8bit) (0-255 numbers), and array with short types (16bit) (0 to
65,535 numbers).

i want such library to save memory and also maybe speed.
