OK,

I'll wait until you check in the tvb_get_bits() change, then look at
it again.  Any test files you could share with longer bit sequences
and/or different bit offsets would be welcome (so I don't trash it
just to make my little examples work :) ).

Hi,
The intention is to use tvb_get bits from inside proto_tree_add_bits so
there will be no overlap.

Hi Anders,

Your tvb_get_bits() has no much in common with the add_bits()
functions that it would be a shame not to share all of the fiddly
bits.

Anyway, here is the patch I forgot to send earlier.  It may be a few
days before I can look at this again :(
