+ *        - Bits [0, 4)            = nbBits
+ *        - Bits [4, 64 - nbBits)  = 0
+ *        - Bits [64 - nbBits, 64) = value
+ *   2. The bitContainer is built from the upper bits and
+ *      right shifted. E.g. to add a new value of N bits
+ *      you right shift the bitContainer by N, then or in
+ *      the new value into the N upper bits.
