I've started working on an implementation of this... but it's not very clear what the correct semantics should be. For example, if my starting BitArray b is 1101, say, what should be the result after b>>=1? Should it be 0110, 110, or 01101? T -- It is widely believed that reinventing the wheel is a waste of time; but I disagree: without wheel reinventers, we would be still be stuck with wooden horse-cart wheels.
