These confusions with octal numbers in lists that aren't even ordered is
why I would prefer to use shifted values instead. I don't see any reason
actually why we should not just convert them all, apart from churning and
perhaps not doing it correctly (which would be bad). My rationale for mixing
was to use 1 << n at least for the remaining bits. If I remember correctly,
this is also what Aleksa preferred.

Thanks for looking into this,
Jori.
