Isn't that approximated by System.Max_Int and System.Max_Binary_Modulus? On many 
modern processors and OSes, though, one could possibly have a packed array of 
Boolean with those bounds that would fit in the available memory. But since you 
can't create an integer type with more values, the desired effect would be 
impossible to achieve.
