I'll take a stab at this to see if I can get something working, but if it
gets to be too much of a mess then I will fall back to adding a BImode.
That seems reasonable to me, but I would strongly suggest that if you
stick with BImode, that you change things so you specify *either* a
size in bits or a size in bytes for a mode to avoid problems with
machines where BITS_PER_UNIT is not 8.
