That would be obfuscating, IMHO. The compiler doesn't need such things
to generate optimal code.

Try it: https://godbolt.org/z/EvvGrTxv3
And it isn't that obfuscated - no more so than your version.

The godbolt link does "n % 8 > 4" instead of "... >= 4" as in Jason's
original code. With ">=" the compiled code matches that for "n & 4".

Bugger :-)
