This safety comment argues why the .unwrap() will not result in a panic,
but it should instead argue why the call to __get_random_u32_below() is
okay. I guess that it's because __get_random_u32_below() is always safe
to call?

I'm not a big fan of these .try_into().unwrap() conversions. I would
probably just have written `BITMAP_LEN as u32`. But I know that this is
a point of disagreement with other Rust maintainers.
