Happy to help.

Perfect, that covers the gap nicely.

Were you planning on writing the optimized non-copy version as well? I don't think it is strictly necessary, more a curiosity.

bms_offset_members() -> new bms, might repalloc() replaces existing loops you've found
bms_shift_members() -> bms is modified in place and fits your new use case a bit better

best.
