Oh.. sorry.. i forgot to say that it makes no sense for 32-bit systems.
Eliot is right by saying that 27-bit floats are useless..
As for characters, i also don't see it worth the effort (especially if
we take into account a slowdown for all integer operations,
since we have to pick from 3 tag variants instead of 2)
