Right. I did overlook the Ada83 bit. I must get my new
prescription filled for my glasses.
You can implement a Right_Shift by dividing by multiples of
2. This does, however, require that the value being shifted
is an integer type. That is the most common situation for
bit shifting.
Left shifting becomes a significant problem using a signed
integer.
