[fetter-devel] unnamed bit fields

[Rayiner Hashem]

For me, not particularly. Verrazano will work without it, it just won't be 
able to access variables in bitfields. Actually, once I get this OpenGL 
stuff finished, I'll go ahead and write a pass to at least collapse the 
bitfield members, so users can do their own bit-twiddling to get access to 
each sub-field.

Sincerely,
Rayiner Hashem
