I think this closes #4817?
Based on the discussion in that issue, I implemented this using the now-existing BitfieldInsert & BitfieldExtract instead of the shift and mask approach (which is currently used for 16-bit types) and added a test.
I only realized that there was already an issue about this after having already implemented the shift + mask version, and I have to say that this BitfieldInsert & Extract approach is much cleaner to implement as well.
