The same confusion existed amongst the authos, that pull was done 
in reaction to 
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/2797#discussion-diff-22456052.

So the shift direction seems to be as intended (by Martin Nowak 
at least) but the docs should be clear in what order the bits are 
printed and indexed. I guess.
