[Bug-apl] Boolean Packing

[IBM APL2]

      WA←⎕WA ⋄ A←1000 1000⍴1=1 ⋄ WA-⎕WA
125056

      

[GNU APL]

      WA←⎕WA ⋄ A←1000 1000⍴1=1 ⋄ WA-⎕WA
48046080

APL2 obviously packs boolean ravels 8 bits per byte.  How does GNU APL store its booleans?

I use large bitmaps a lot in my code, so having them stored packed in the workspace is a huge issue for me.
