It can only be done when the variable is a member of a struct, class or
union.
struct something {
    unsigned whatever: 1;
    unsigned something: 2;
};
You usually want a 1 bit variable to be usigned: otherwise if the bit is
set your value might be either 1 or -1, depending on the compiler.  -1
is more common, but it's not guaranteed.
