+This attribute allows to alter type of a bitfield in debug information.
+Such a need might arise when bitfield is intended to store an enumeration value,
+but has to be specified as having enumeration's underlying type, in order to
+facilitate compiler optimizations. But this also causes underlying type to be
+emitted in debug information, making it hard for debuggers to map bitfield's
+value back to enumeration. This attribute helps with this.
