You can do this sort of thing without bitfields.

switch (var & 2)
{
	case 0:
	case 1:
}

or

switch ((var & 0xe) >> 1)
{
	case 0:
	case 2:
}

Which is what our compiler has to turn it into anyway.

Still, I guess bitfields are pretty common in the non-RPC stuff, so for
convenience I don't see any problem adding them.
