+// To retrieve the current pointer, we mask off the bottom bits to get the base pointer, and add its offset.
+// This only applies if the container's maximum range can fit inside the representable range of those bottom
+// bits, so (2 ^ available_bits) - 1

As for the starting position question, I'm not entirely sure of a use case for it just yet?
