Yeah, that one wouldn't be an "ugly head issue", since that behavior
(bug? feature? :-) is old, not new.

In proto.c, proto_tree_set_uint() takes into account the bitmask.
proto_tree_set_boolean() does not.

The functions that then deal with numbers and bitmasks always
test hfinfo->bitshift, so if we were to set the bitmask in
proto_tree_set_boolean(), we might be lucky enough that it would just
automatically work. :)
