Some BINARY new Operators.

[ThSITC]

I would really like to introduce a SHIFTLEFT and SHIFTREIGHT BINARY
Operator in NetRexx.

As you all know, we cannot use << for shift left (as Java) *or* >> for
shift right.

As an experiment, I am TRYING to implement:

    *<     for shift left
    *>    for shift right

As this is currently a syntax error in NetRexx, it might be a possible
solution for BIT-Freaks!
(*and*, also of course, for efficiency) :-)

*OR*:

Is the Java and NetRexx Compiler anyway translating a term like 2**4 to
a shift-left ???

What do you know *and* say?
Thomas.

PS: Please do note, that in my current implementation, all OPERATORS are
defined EXTERNALLY,
for instance in NetRexx.opers (Language NetRexx), thus can be SYNONYMED
or REPLACED
by individual preferences.... ;-)

Or, just maybe, once in a while you could use an existing java library that doesn't require the <<>> operators.

Hello Mike, I'm already using those Libraries...

Got the hint about BitSet sometime ago. Cannot recall from whom...

Thanks, anyway, for the follow up.
Thomas.

PS: Anyway, my personal feeling is, taht for *any* existing BINARY OPERATOR
there should be an equivalent NetRexx Operator!

But this is a *personal feeling*, of course, only... :-)
