is omitted, then the type defaults to having `Any` as its immediate supertype. The declaration
of [`Bool`](@ref) above therefore means that a boolean value takes eight bits to store, and has
[`Integer`](@ref) as its immediate supertype. Currently, only sizes that are multiples of
8 bits are supported.
8 bits are supported and you are likely to experience Julia or LLVM bugs with sizes other than those used above.
Therefore, boolean values, although they really need just a single bit, cannot be declared to be any
smaller than eight bits.
