[Forth83](http://forth.sourceforge.net/standard/fst83/fst83-b.htm) has `!BITS` and `@BITS` for storing and fetching bit fields.

I suppose one could come up with a design to support something like this: ``` begin-structure foo begin-bitfield 1 +bits a 1 +bits b 2 +bits c 4 +bits d...

I like _superbits_. I feel they should have the superpower to solve any programming problem!

@rdrop-exit, I like that `\` convention. I use the `-` convention for negating or removing a "name", but `\` works in another dimension.

I'm curious if @postspectacular will port his [synthesizer](http://actcenter.kr/program/build-your-own-synthesizer-getting-started-with-bare-metal-arm-programming-karsten-schmidt/) software to Forth? The end of his [article](https://medium.com/@thi.ng/the-jacob-s-ladder-of-coding-4b12477a26c) seems to end on a high Forth note.
