+ ;; FIXME: Declaring these bit indices to be of type OFFSET, then
+ ;; using the inline expansion in SPEED 3 SAFETY 0 functions, is not
+ ;; a good thing. At the very least, we should make sure that the
+ ;; type (overflow) checks get done. Better would be to avoid

+ ;; to call out to things like memmove(3) for big moves.
