1) Fix comment.

2) Assert that the source operand is not special. Prevent resulting assert
   failure (harmless) by initializing flags before calling mpd_qshiftr_inplace.

3) Save a couple of instructions (mpd_zerocoeff already sets digits and len).
   Reorder initialization to match the order in the mpd_t struct.
