I think this should be a separate function and also use __builtin_clz when building with compilers that support it (GCC, clang).

Is coz really supposed to return a string? That seems impossible, given that its goal is performance.

Seems like the answer is it is not supposed to return a string.

Modified according to comments.

Unfortunately, __builtin_clz(0) was returning 31 instead of the 32 specified in the standard, so I had to add a check for that.
