Masked dec and inc on integral values with wide logical can be optimized to be branchless/if_else less by addign or substarcting the mask as an integer itself.
This was an optimization we had long ago and that disappeared through one of our recent refactoring and was pointerd out to me during my recent tutorial workshop at the LAPP.
This PR resinstates those optimisations.
