-  `ripn` breaks `atom` into a list of blocks, of bit-width `bits`. The
-  resulting list will be least-significant block first.
-
-  XX TODO This only handles cases where the bit-width is <= 32.
-
-  For each block we produce, we need to grab the relevant words inside
-  `atom`, so we first compute their indicies.
-
-  `ins_idx` is the word-index of the least-significant word we
-  care about, and `sig_idx` is the word after that.
-
-  Next we grab those words (`ins_word` and `sig_word`) from the atom
-  using `u3r_word`. Note that `sig_idx` might be out-of-bounds for the
-  underlying array of `atom`, but `u3r_word` returns 0 in that case,
-  which is exatly what we want.
-
-  Now, we need to grab the relevant bits out of both words, and combine
-  them. `bits_rem_in_ins_word` is the number of remaining (insignificant)
-  bits in `ins_word`, `nbits_ins` is the number of bits we want from the
-  less-significant word, and `nbits_sig` from the more-significant one.
-
-  Take the least significant `nbits_sig` bits from `sig_word`, and take
-  the slice we care about from `ins_word`. In order to take that slice,
-  we drop `bits_rem_in_ins_word` insignificant bits, and then take the
-  `nbits_sig` most-significant bits.
-
-  Last, we slice out those bits from the two words, combine them into
-  one word, and cons them onto the front of the result.
