Please no. Currently, I can verify the arithmetic directly. Using such a
"helper" I'd have to know whether it just does /8 or if it's more like
the bitmap_words() thing which rounds up to a whole number of words. And
BITS_PER_BYTE (and similarly CHAR_BITS) really is, IMO, much less
readable than 8.
