Indeed, you have a point there.

However, I don't see any much support for bitfields in other FFI's 
(only Allegro supports that AFAICT from a quick skim through the 
various docs). I suspect the details of bitfields vary a lot between 
compilers/abis.

This particular customer didn't actually need bitfields, though. 
Verrazano was generating unnecessary/unused struct typedefs, right?
