An accepted standard for representing bitwise sprite data would be nice.
Yes, you can do it with "0" and "1", certainly. But a new directive,
something like
pic P.XX...XX
would be, I think, very easy to implement, and would give you better
visual contrast than a field of 0s and 1s.
I like being able to glance at the code and see the sprites, and putting
them in comments means twice the maintenance, as you need to make sure
your comment stays synchronized with your changing sprite.
