As we talked about before; is this really correct? !is_power_of_2(0) ==
true while (0 & (0-1)) == 0.
size == 0 is also covered by the next two conditions, so the overall value
does not change.
Yes, but is it meant to state that 'size' is not a power of two?

What else can it mean?
What about !one_or_less_bit()? It has not been implemented (yet?) but been discussed. It ended by concluding that is_power_of_2() should be fixed up first and then we can see about it.
And as I stated before; !is_power_of_2(size) != (size & (size-1))! It may be a bug but then we have to be sure it is suppose to be the power of 2.
