Comment (by catalyst):

 How about changing `src[bit/8+1]` in the original to `src[(bit+5)/8]`?
 That is more concise and more symmetric with the original if-expression.
 I think that any time the same byte gets loaded twice into `v`, the low 8
 bits get discarded by the following right-shift.  Then again that might be
 less clear than this patch.
