Num2Bits is not well defined with n > 253 and could lead to aliasing; disallow these sizes, as they are almost always mistakes. Users who intend to explicitly handle aliasing can write their own circuit. If the highest bit is required, Num2Bits_strict performs a 254-bit decomposition and includes an alias check.
