Yes, I'm aware of what C can't do :P
However, this doesn't mean that we can't implement what I've proposed. It's 
a simple matter of making RLE/compiled sprites be BITMAPs instead of 
RLE_SPRITE and COMPILED_SPRITE. Of course, not every operation on those 
bitmaps will be supported, but it would allow us to add support for them 
later on. It would also allow us to add new bitmap types, since there's only 
one set of functions to work with.
