I have test cases to be 100% sure, but on the first glance, yes it does with
the adjustment to the atomicity of the operations (which I do not understand
why be atomic in the original bitmap_onto() implementation).

This actually gives a question if we should use your approach or mine.
At least the help of bitmap_onto() is kinda hard to understand.
