That matches my conclusion.

The thought of exposing a bug in some user of this find bit code by
tightening up the API to return == N, not >= N, scares poor little old

If someone bold enough and strong enough to slay such dragons came
along, I'd gladly cheer them along. But such people are a rare breed,
and probably have bigger dragons to slay first.
