Hi Damian -
Compiling this with the master branch gives an error:
error: Cannot bitshift 255 by 52 because 52 is >= the bitwidth of uint(32)
For this you can thank David L. for PR 14391.
Previous to that PR, we were ending up with C semantics,
which are that shifts (in either direction) by more than the type
width cause undefined behavior (and in fact the shift width
is taken modulus the bit width on some common platforms).
Cheers,

Silly me
I noticed that if I effectively
0xff:uint(32) << 52
that the compiler does not complain of my stupidity. All the components
of the expression were known at compile time.
What is worse, it gives me
0xff000000
which is
0xff:uint(32) << 24
That seems a bit odd.
Mind you, still silly me.
