Aaaah, Stupidity! I need double quotes around the strings, i.e.
''b0001''....

Sorry for the bandwith.

BTW, is their interest in having a 2 byte bit type as a contributed type
along the lines of int8? I could package it up, and post it. It supports
all the binary operations, i.e. & | ^ ~ << and >>. Only problem I would
like to resolve is why I cannot define the or operator as |.
