struct DblRep

BitFieldDesc(Type.Bool, "sign", 1)

With macros would look like
struct DblRep
{
@BitFields
struct
{
@23 ulong fraction;
@8 ushort exponent;
@1 bool sign;
}
}
The great thing about string-mixins is that you can explain
easily and they have an understandable representation which you
can dump out easily.
Whereas with AST macros you need to understand the macro and can
not as easily dump the output.
