D.learn is a better place to ask such questions.
In D1 now the bit type exists just as an alias.
I think it was removed because you can't get the address of a bit. D1 Phobos has functions in std.intrinsic to manage bit arrays, and D2 Phobos has a module that implements a bit array and a way to build struct bit fields.
