- digitShiftSum: aBlock
- 	"Reconstruct an Integer that has been split in chunks by using shift and add.
- 	Each of my element represent a digitShift, an my step size repreent the digit length of chunks.
- 	The block is evaluated with each digitShift to produce the chunks.
- 	
- 	Algorithm insights:
- 	Let d0,d1,d2,... be the chunks, and s be the bit shift (8*step because digitLength is 8bits)
- 	The naive loop does shift each chunk and accumulate into a sum:
- 		((d0 + (d1<<s)) + (d2<<s)) + (d3<<s) + ...
- 	The length of accumulator increase at each iteration (1+2+3...) resulting in a cost (size+1)*size/2, or O(size^2)
- 	Note that Horner scheme would be of about same cost
- 		(((... + d3) << s + d2) << s + d1) << s + d0
-     	(a bit like so called Shlemiel the painter)
- 	If we instead divide and conquer, we add smaller parts (1+1+2+...) resulting into a cost of O(size*log2(size))
- 		(d0 + (d1<<s)) + ((d2 + (d3<<s)) << s) + ...
- 	However, the divide and conquer split comes with an additionnal cost, so do it only if worth it."
