Since Bool is not included in Base.BitIntegerType, hastypemax(Bool) falls back to the slow generic version. This reduces the performance of digits! with Boolean target vector (for base=2) significantly. Specializing hastypemax on Bool fixes this performance bug.
In one of my applications, where digits! should only take a small fraction of the total runtime, fixing this improves the performance by more than 10%.

I don't see why this PR might cause buildbot/tester_freebsd64 to fail. Any suggestions?

It would be great if this could be considered to be a performance bug and backported to v1.7.0 before it is released officially.

is this a regression? if not, it's not backport worthy.
