Hmm, feel free to write this if you think you can make things clearer;
the bit setting will tell you what needs doing in each case.  But I
don't really see how it helps.  If the bit happens to be set you will do
it one way having exactly the same effect as if you did it the other
way, so I don't see the gain.
