-{- Benchmarks show that the time taken by `writeBits` depends mostly on the size

+{- The `writeBits` function takes a bytestring, a list of positions to write to,
+   and a list of True/False values to write at those positions.  It behaves like
+   `zip` in that if the two lists are of different lengths, the trailing
+   elements of the longer list are ignored.  Because of this we only run
+   benchmarks with lists of equal length because in the general case the time
+   taken will depend only on the length of the smaller list and there's nothing
+   to be gained by traversing a two-dimensional space of inputs.  Moreover,
+   benchmarks show that the time taken by `writeBits` depends mostly on the
+   number of updates (and not on the length of the bytestring), although it may
+   take a little longer to write bits with larger indices.  We run benchmarks
