I made a subclass of ArrayedCollection that internally represents its
contents as a LargeInteger (I call it BitArray). I can convert BitArrays
to and from Integers, Strings and ByteArrays. The ability to use the
Collection and Stream protocol with bits was very useful for me, and
simplified a lot my code. I think we should have something like this in
the image (I'm not publishing my code because it's just a quick hack).
