While everybody is throwing ideas around: what about the opposite?

If extracting bit ranges from bitfields is common enough to warrant this addition, updating bitfields with a bit range is probably just as common.

This'd need something like

i.with_bits(value, pos, width=1)

No preference if it should raise an exception if value is wider than "width".
