These formulas come from the formula for computing the accessed index A:
`A = S + I * F`
And then deriving the value for I, by equating `A = C` (for F > 0) and `A = -1`
(for F < 0) - that is equating the accessed index to the "first" out of bound
index. `ceilDiv` ensures there is "some room" between the max/min index and the
selected one.

I've simplified the code here, as it still had traces of attempts to avoid the
call to `bitSize` (this method used to be partial).
