   Saving memory by using the smallest multiple-of-8 N that will do. Also   
   being able to use bit-fields wider than int.   
      
   Saving memory for two reasons:   
      
   * On small embedded systems where there is very little memory   
   * For code that needs to be very fast on big systems to make data   
   structures fit into cache
