  Not all bits need to be specified, so ``filler'' fields are optional.

+The @var{start} and @var{end} values are required, and @var{type}

  The field's @var{start} must be less than or equal to its @var{end},
  and zero represents the least significant bit.
-The default value of @var{end} is @var{start}, a single bit field.

-The default value of @var{type} depends on whether the
-@var{end} was specified.  If @var{end} is specified then the default
-value of @var{type} is an unsigned integer.  If @var{end} is unspecified

+The default value of @var{type} is @code{bool} for single bit fields,

  Which to choose?  Structures or flags?
