Long bitfields in PODs

A type like:
struct S {
int i : 8192;
};
is a POD.
According to 2.4, that means that the underlying C layout rules for
the system should be used. Unfortunately, that kind of type is not
valid in C.
I believe that all types with bitfields wider than their declared
types should be considered non-PODs for the purposes of layout.
Any objections?
