Multi-bit alignment (e.g. 8-bit) is a means of simplifying and 
therefore speeding up the CPU architecture. Having 3 lines for 
individual bits would be a huge waste of electricity. As it is, I 
think being able to address individual bytes is a bit antiquated, 
especially with new CPUs heavily favouring pointer-size alignment.
