This is a feature/enhancement proposition.
Bit field could be used to document binary packet format if there would be a variable length separator capability. Something like this :

Has this feature been added, trying to document a binary communications protocol and this is basically a requirement to make bitfield useful for that purpose?

No, this feature is not being implemented yet.

I have some questions:

Are we talking about this particular example with one variable length field in the end?
Can this field be in the middle?
How this would look like with multiple variable fields?
Can we have mix of Varible anf fixed fields?
@MattIhnen can you share your use case?
