Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:309 jdemeyer]:
 > In `biseq_slice`, the case `step == 1` should also be implemented using
 bitset primitives.

 Problem: We would need a bitset primitive that shifts a ''part'' of a
 bitset S. Currently, `bitset_rshift` shifts all of S, not just a part of
 S.

 I see four ways to proceed:
 - Write a new primitive `bitset_rshift_subset`, which means code
 duplication
 - Add an optional argument to `bitset_rshift`, which means that all places
 using this function must be changed.
 - Change `bitset_rshift` so that no assumption on the size of source and
 target are needed: We just shift the minimum of the number of limbs that
 is available in the source and of the number of limbs that fits into the
 target.
 - Do not use bitset primitives in `biseq_slice`.
