PEP0238 lament

Quoth "Tim Peters" <tim.one at home.com>:

| Of course, but computer numerics is a massive exercise in picking the

So would it make sense to also change the >> and << operators to
rotate shift?  I mean, I sure wouldn't find that more useful, but
it does conserve information that the current shifts lose.
