No. These are fixes in various threads all listed together in [1]. I
had started investigating memory consumption by Bitmapsets around the
same time. The slides are result of that investigation. I have updated
slides with this reference.

They reduce the memory footprint by Bitmapset because they reduce the
objects that contain the bitmapsets, thus reducing the total number of
bitmapsets produced.
