I am not sure it is really useful since when someone will want to
shrink it, it will be stored as `unsigned BasePathSite : x;`. What we
don't want is having `x` too small. However `numeric_limits` will
be based on the underlying type of the bit-field and so will never fail.
Storing it as something other than an unsigned, say a short, would work,
but it will pack poorly with MSVC.
Hopefully the comment in `CastExprBitfields` will tell people to not shrink it
mindlessly.
