/// Bit Field Extract (immediate form).
///
/// Extracts bits in range [`start`, `start` + `length`) from the `source` to
/// the least significant bits of the result.
///
/// Bits [7,0] of `range` specify the index to the first bit in the range to be
/// extracted, and bits [15,8] specify the length of the range.
///
/// Only bits up to `std::mem::size_of::<T>() - 1` are extracted.
///
/// The extracted bits are written in the result starting from the
/// least-significant bit. The high-order bits of the result are zeroed.
