The 'bit value of size' sounds more confusing than it should. The size
of bit is actually a bit... Can you rephrase? Moreover, 'set bits' has
a meaning of actually setting them, i.e. switching to '1'. Maybe:
"Copy 'nbits' to bitmap starting at 'start'"?

When nbits == 0, copy-like functions shouldn't touch any memory. See how
other bitmap and find_bit functions hold it.
