Meaning of __rlshift__ and __rrshift__ ?

[Hamish Lawson]

__rrshift__ is the reversed-operand version of __rshift__. There
are reversed-operand versions of the other binary operators.
They are invoked for the object on the right-hand side of a
binary operator when the left-hand-side object doesn't support
the operator in question.

For example, consider the expression

    x / y

If x has a __div__() method defined then x.__div__(y) will be
invoked. But if x doesn't have __div__() defined then an attempt
will be made to invoke y.__rdiv__(x) instead.
