gollark: Not really. Unless you want ROM.
gollark: Okay then?
gollark: Huh? It looks like it can do toggling.
gollark: <@330678593904443393> That storage only supports reading and toggling it. I would prefer to have, if I were to use it, the ability to write 0/1 specifically.
gollark: For a storage bit I would want "read" (the output), "write" (the input to write to the storage) and "trigger_write" (pulse this input on to write to storage).
