--------------------------------------------

Aha, phew!  A bug in the test ... with that change the test looks like it's 
passing so far ... I'll beast it for a while.  Thanks Adrien.

> There are some places in Lucene code that {iterate over,set} ranges of values 
> of a packed integer array. Because bit-packing implementations (Packed*) tend 
> be slower than direct implementations, this can take a lot of time.
> For example, under some scenarii, GrowableWriter can take most of its 
> (averaged) {{set}} time in resizing operations.
> However, some bit-packing schemes, such as the one that is used by 
> {{Packed64SingleBlock*}}, allow to implement efficient bulk operations such 
> as get/set/fill. Implementing these bulk operations in 
> {{PackedInts.{Reader,Mutable}}} and using them across other components 
> instead of their single-value counterpart could help improve performance.
