Why this? What was wrong with the previous formula
There's nothing wrong with it if we assume no padding bits, which the Gnulib coding conventions allow us to assume, so the other examples you mention are OK in Gnulib. However, I thought it nicer if we didn't have to assume it in this particular case.
It's not a big deal. If you like, we could have OFFSET_MAX be optional, with the default being the old value.
