The idea was to have one type to rule them all… everything address related... bit offsets, byte offsets… Bit offset is the wrong name, as that would be a wrong type to use for a byte offset. Someone that has a bit offset type, would naturally want to /8 to get a byte offset. If one wanted a bit offset, then it should be split into two, bit offset and byte offset.
