Research direction

Start by examining the regression-testing configuration and the uses of BIT_STREAM_WORD_TYPE, then run the existing regression tests with BIT_STREAM_WORD_TYPE=uint8. The work is done when the uint8 configuration completes the regression suite successfully, matching the existing uint64 coverage.
