Hi Guys,

I have good news and bad news.

The good news:

newCTFE just compiled my own version of std.bitmanip.bitfields
dubbed fastFields.
which can be seen here:

https://gist.github.com/UplinkCoder/b3501425a4fb4992c6cf1c77d6c3638a

The bad news:
It miscompiles it.

The generated code is bogus :)

Fixing this could take a while.
Because even with my improved debugging tools it's still over 3k 
of instructions to look through.

It does not help that over 300 temporaries are allocated.
