bool8: Alternative Bool type stored as byte
The standard Bool type has a Storable instance
that requires the size of HTYPE_INT,
i.e. usually four bytes or even more.
This package provides Bool8,
a boolean type with an 8 bit representation in memory.
It is not a drop-in replacement for Bool though.
You have to convert from or to Bool occasionally.
Starting with GHC-8.2/base-4.10 you also have Foreign.C.Types.CBool.
