I am still curious why.
If it's due to compiler misoptimization, is that kind of thing often
misoptimized, or is there something we're doing in particular?
Even if we don't have answers, it might be worth adding a brief comment
that we empirically determined that booleans are faster than bitfields
or flags. In the future, maybe compilers mostly get this right, and we
want to change to bitfields.
