Description
Vectors of booleans:
V: !vector
items: bool
are not handled because the .data() method is deleted from the std::vector<bool> specialization. Additionally, binary serialization should write out a bitstream where each value is a bit rather than a byte.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the C++ handling for vector and the binary serialization path; compare the existing vector serialization behavior with the requested bitstream representation. Done means boolean vectors are supported despite std::vector's deleted data() method and binary output stores each value as a bit.
