Is it possible to create and use buses whose elements are single bits in Simulink 7.1 (R2008a)?

Currently the minimum bus element size in Simulink is 8 bits. I would like to be able to create buses whose elements constitute single bits.

The ability to represent single bits in a bus is not available in SImulink 7.3 (R2009a) or any previous versions.

To work around this, extract and shift bits manually with the Extract Bits block and Shift Arithmetic block. See the attached resolution document "extract_pack.mdl"
