-Proximity(x, y) returns the proximity order of the MSB distance between x and y
-
-The distance metric MSB(x, y) of two equal length byte sequences x an y is the
-value of the binary integer cast of the x^y, ie., x and y bitwise xor-ed.
-the binary cast is big endian: most significant bit first (=MSB).
-
-Proximity(x, y) is a discrete logarithmic scaling of the MSB distance.
-It is defined as the reverse rank of the integer part of the base 2
-logarithm of the distance.
-It is calculated by counting the number of common leading zeros in the (MSB)
-binary representation of the x^y.
