Hi,
I was looking at the VarBit data structure and found out that instead of
storing the number of bits in four bytes, we can save the number of bits
that are valid in the last byte. Since we already store the number of bytes
in Varlena Header, we can calculate the number of valid bits by doing

This might be worth considering in a release cycle where we were going
to break on-disk data compatibility for some other reason. But I can
hardly imagine wanting to do it by itself. Marginal space savings for
the bit types just isn't that exciting.
Maybe we should start a special section
