I am planning to implement support for bit fields at some point. It will mainly involve extending struct transforms to work with arrays of bits instead of just arrays of bytes. As for disassembly, I intended that to be a long-term potential goal. Specifying how to decode instructions could certainly be easier in Bithenge, but there are already disassemblers for many architectures, and Bithenge would be relatively slow. Bithenge could be useful if you wanted to do some sort of advanced analysis on the machine code, but I'd prefer to stick to data structures for now.
