Yes, but that's intended for something other than a "small integer"
type. Indeed, I'm a bit worried that "small integer" might suggest
something more like "short" than "char".
Perhaps Dmitry Nadezhin's idea of defining a new 8-bit type for
encoding decorations as bit strings has merit after all... I've
been looking at his octets.pdf -- but I think that's too verbose
as it stands.
I hope we can work out something sensible by the end of this week...
