[Ohrrpgce] SVN: teeemcee/10425 Replace Door.bits() with Door.exists, for some wonderful cleanup

[Ralph Versteegen]

I admit, I am guilty of trying to squeeze bits into a smaller space by
using bitfields (a feature that feels archaic even in C, anachronistically
supported by FB) in Frame and sometimes I give them serious consideration
elsewhere (Slices?). But they're bad because bits take the value 0/1
instead of 0/-1.
Hmm, come to think of it, I could probably define bool as a byte rather
than an integer, for space savings, without changing any semantics!
