bitwise-arithmetic-shift-right doesn't handle bignum shift amounts #50

Open weinholt opened 11 years ago

The bitwise-arithmetic-shift-right procedure doesn't handle bignum shift amounts. The example below should return -1.

This is a documented restriction. Sorry but it is very low priority for me to fix this. For the time being I have changed the type of raised condition object from &assertion to &implementation-restriction.

Thanks @weinholt. This is an issue in IronScheme too!
