 |This really should have gone through code review.

Out of topic: i seem to recall to have seen these masks and
similar code (with predictions) in the Linux kernel about 20 years
ago.  I admire people who grasp and wrap their heads around such
maths on the fly.  I tend to forget it again and again.  Mind you,
cycling two days ago over across the small hill i landed in
winter, today it was all melted and the sheeps adored it.
