Huh? It's entirely related.
The fact that sizeof(bool) * 8 != sizeof(byte) is what causes 
problems in vector<bool> (can't treat them like other types, 
which we can address directly), and it's also one of the 
asymmetries bool has with integers in D (and any other language).

Different situation, same cause: bool doesn't behave like an 
integer.

I thought we just established that boolean logic isn't integer 
logic?
