Fair point, but note that precise_ip is a bitfield. Since there is no
way to express that currently the parser would need to special case it anyways.

So it could be just added as precise_ip: precise_ip in events/,
but I have some doubts that really helps anyone.

Or invent some new syntax to abstract the bitfields, but that also
would need changes.
