Very clever!  :-)

Picking a nit, that version iterates over *two* sets of bits.  The "for"
loop over each possible bit in the input values.  The "map" function
over the parity bits accumulated up to that point.  And the "+="
operator over those same bits again.  Make that *three* sets of bits.

I stand humbled.
