<bitset>: Use fewer bytes for small bitsets #1498

Open StephanTLavavej opened 4 years ago

StephanTLavavej commented 4 years ago

Currently, bitset consumes at least 4 bytes:

This is a penalty for users who want to use a small bitset as a more-strongly-typed replacement for a small integer.

Also should use public data, see #496
