We'd still need some special words, since in the POD case we fall back
on the C ABI, and there is no C ABI for bitfields wider than their type;
that's not valid C.  But, I fully agree with the spirit of your comment:
at this point, if the ABI doesn't match implementation practice, we
should change the ABI, not the implementations.
