 231   * Now note that all of the (e)^(j*i) for i in [5..0] are constants and can be precomputed.
 232   * But even more than that, we can consider each coefficient as a bit-string.
 233   * For example, take r5 = (b_5, b_4, b_3, b_2, b_1) written out as 5 bits. Then:
 234   * r5*(e)^j = b_1*(e)^j + b_2*(2*(e)^j) + b_3*(4*(e)^j) + b_4*(8*(e)^j) + b_5*(16*(e)^j)
 235   * where all the (2^i*(e)^j) are constants and can be precomputed.
 236   *
