A database in J may be implemented as a sparse boolean orthotope where each
axis corresponds to some attribute (field, column of relational table), and
value 1 ("true") marks tuple [1].
A restriction proposed will limit a number of attributes to <64 for this
application. It would be sad but not fatal. I'd prefer to have this limit
larger, say, O(1e5).
