Really, understandable and reviewable are very similar, so I don't see
how something could be (possibly) more reviewable while never more
understandable.
Seriously, the C
field = (longword >> 15) & 0x3f;
is pretty clear.
I didn't know about the 05 change to 'Bit_Order, sounds good, not much
help with the current project though!
