  33. * The code below is a bit sneaky. After a comparison fails, we
  34. * divide the work in half by moving either left or right. If lim
  35. * is odd, moving left simply involves halving lim: e.g., when lim
  36. * is 5 we look at item 2, so we change lim to 2 so that we will
  37. * look at items 0 & 1. If lim is even, the same applies. If lim
  38. * is odd, moving right again involves halving lim, this time moving
  39. * the base up one item past p: e.g., when lim is 5 we change base
  40. * to item 3 and make lim 2 so that we will look at items 3 and 4.
  41. * If lim is even, however, we have to shrink it by one before
  42. * halving: e.g., when lim is 4, we still looked at item 2, so we
  43. * have to make lim 3, then halve, obtaining 1, so that we will only
  44. * look at item 3.
