Tangentially, I now realize that this was totally backwards. Should be more like:

			for i in 0 ..< countRepresentedWords {
				let word = value.word(at: i)
				let shift = i * word.bitWidth
				bits |= Magnitude(truncatingOrExtending: word) &<< shift
			}

Always fun when your dumb mistakes get sent to large numbers of people.
