Beschreibung

Currently, the basis library doesn't include any shift operations in the Word8 or Word64 modules, and the parser can't generate Opapps with a Shift operation. Thus, the user cannot write programs that shift words in the surface syntax.

Ideally, we'd like to add >> and << as 2 argument CakeML functions, but the Shift op is a unary op with the amount to shift built into the operator. We either need to make Shift a binary op, or we have to add a restricted form of shifting where >> is defined in the basis as a function of two arguments that does a case split on the 2nd to pick out which Shift to actually do.
