I agree with you on this. Arithmetic right shift is a primitive
operation and I couldn't live without it.
Just a remind: at least we would be in good company, as ANSI C does not
offer this operation too :)
 ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E)
 6.5.7
 The result of E1>> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. If E1
 has an unsigned type or if E1 has a signed type and a nonnegative
 value, the value of the result is the integral part of the quotient of
 E1 / 2E2. If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting
 value is implementation-defined.
In the risk of shocking some people, C isn't the ultimate reference. Is it? :)
In Java (thus JavaScript) and perhaps some other languages, we have the >>> operator... for unsigned right shift.
