On: Packed structs in Zig make bit/flag sets trivial

Notoriously? I can't name any architecture/platform/compiler where bits aren't allocated consecutively in order of definition, without holes, in the same direction as system endianness...

Try this in clang and gcc:

    #pragma pack(1)

MSVC does things simply, gcc does not
