     // static_log2_argument_type.
     //
     // Used to get the maximum power of two less then the width.
     //
     // Example: if on your platform argument_type has 48 value
     //          bits it yields n=32.
     //
     // It's easy to prove that, starting from such a value
     // of n, the core algorithm works correctly for any width
     // of static_log2_argument_type and that recursion always
     // terminates with x = 1 and n = 0 (see the algorithm's
     // invariant).
