I'm actually not so sure about that, I think the cleanest way is to have a
new data type so that we have the option to perform dynamic dispatch on
byte-boolean data

> Some libraries represent boolean data as a single byte per value as a vector
> of int8/uint8 1's and 0's. It would be useful to be able to retain this
> metadata as an optional field on the {{Bool}} table in {{Schema.fbs}}
