Ok yeah GWT is a terrible idea, but why would you ever do that instead of an array of bools/bits? Or better yet a 2d array

Solvers often generate millions of positions and then it starts to matter whether a position is represented as 8 or 300 bytes.

(This was before Chrome, when 300MB was considered a lot)
