#68: bit-bash-copy can't handle very large objects

 {{{BIT-BASH-COPY}}} takes bit indices as offsets for copying random
 objects.  This is very useful if we're copying bit-arrays or arrays with
 elements smaller than a byte.  However, when copying strings or arrays
 with elements larger than a byte, the bit index exceeds 32 bits when the
 index is near {{{MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM}}}.

 {{{BIT-BASH-COPY}}} needs to be updated to handle this, or a {{{BYTE-BASH-
 COPY}}} should be added to handle the case where the element size is at
 least a byte in size.
