The BITS paper uses fully inclusive ranges. When this was written I'm not sure I understood that. To get things to match the naive version of count (find -> count) I had a while loop in the bits count method to advance the cursor past the matched start/stop index.
This change was found while porting mojo-lapper and removes the while loop. It also has a more effecient branchless binary search.
Benchmarks for count improve 24-30% (see PR).
