Description
The quickchecking crate, for property testing with fuzzed C headers could be extended to exercise a broader range of viable code.
Some examples of generated features that might provide value would be bitfields, C++, and other problematic code documented in issues tagged with I-bogus-codegen.
Corresponds to extending #970
The quickchecking crate lives in the tests directory here: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen/tree/master/tests/quickchecking/

Research direction
Start in the quickchecking crate under tests/quickchecking and review the scope of issue #970. Then inspect issues tagged I-bogus-codegen to identify viable generated cases such as bitfields or C++; done means adding broader property-test coverage for selected cases and verifying the quickchecking tests pass.
