Long Shifty Bits

[Phlip]

Not hyp:

I want this expression to make sense:

        x = 1L << 200

If someone tells me "it will roll over at the 32nd bit", or mayby even "it 
will roll over when the CPU damn well feels like it", that's okay. I'l just 
construct a Bit Vector of some ilk and drop my bits into it. But the above 
notation is closest to our problem space, so it would be nice if it worked 
as expected.
