Also, when displaying the class/{primitive|constructed}/tag field, why
show the tag for universal types as a bitfield but not show the tag for
non-universal types (when it's not 0b11111) as a bitfield?  (X.680
doesn't list any class tag assignments > 24, saying that 31 and up are
reserved for addenda, so there aren't any universal types that wouldn't
fit into the bitfield now.)

That'd probably be done by having two entries for "ber.id.uni_tag" and
two entries for "ber.id.tag", one that's an FT_UINT8 bitfield (for
values in the range 0 through 14) and one that's an FT_UINT32 (for
values 15 and up).  There'd presumably be another field for use with a
tag value of 15 in the first octet.
