Memory use is a known problem. One way to start addressing it might be to implement a "bit" arraytype. It might even be possible to prototype that on top of the existing types. Views make bit arrays a bit more interesting ;)
Since 1/8 can be represented exactly in floating point, I guess it's technically possible to support non-integer strides?
I think the same effect could be obtained with fixed point integers, i.e., the last three bits are the fractional part. Chuck
