Thanks for this discussion, since this really gets confusing at times.

this isn't safe if you want to mimic hardware layout; the order of the
bits in the struct is different for little endian and big endian
machines...
What is the best way in such scenario? Should we then use an unsigned
char array and then keep separate mappings of each bit for little and
big endian machines ?
