Is the reason for the modulo to put a bitmask larger then the variable

The complementary LONG() macro will tell you the index of an array of
longs where the bit should be set.
This may be a little OT, but how come it is not done as an function?
Maybe something like "(set/get)_long_mask(...)".
The reason I don't like it with modulo is simply because it hides
potential bugs (when x is to big).
That would be my only concern - losing compiler warnings.
And what bugs me is that this will effect the whole tree for a feature
used in only input, right?
And what about the "1%"?
The 1% will need either LLBIT or an extra % 8.
Oh, that's true
