Thanks Meynaf.
And yes, Speris Legacy has many bitfields inside (just checked disasm). |

They are rarely used but not extremely rare. Bitfield instructions are often handy when it comes to size optimising, I used them in quite a few of my 4k intros. They are often used in fade routines as well (to extract the separate RGB components). So don't discard bitfields.

For the record, Virocop AGA uses this, too.
