Wrong direction!

Store only bits using word-length ints (32 bits in most modern architectures), and program everything to do math using arrays of 32 int-bits to numbers!

Oh man! That took me down memory lane!

I once had to reverse engineer a database to make an invoice integration. They had an int named flags. It contained all status booleans in the entire system. Took me a while to figure that one out.

We've all been there, friend. The bit arrays can't hurt you now.
