Synopsis: Support automatic grouping of boolean fields into a bitset for selected classes
Description
It would be nice if the comiler was able to group a bunch of boolean fields together in a bit set automatically to save space. This would allow one to write clear code that was still optimised for space if desired. Ideally, the user would be able to specify which classes the optimisation applied to.
