So my version has the +1 for the first as well, this is from the
assumption that the bit passed in has been dealt with and should not be
the first. ie. cont _after_ @bit instead of cont _at_ @bit.

This seems consistent with the list_*_continue primitives as well, which
will start with the element after (or before for _reverse) the given
position.

Thoughts?
