Research direction

Start at the fread(..., logical01=...) entry point and reproduce the supplied example. Trace how logical01 vectors are interpreted, then verify that length-2 and length-3 lists produce logical columns with the intended FALSE, TRUE, and NA conversion. Done means the example succeeds and the behavior is covered by the relevant tests.
