Relaxed shift operator requirements #649

Closed rbwhitaker closed 1 year ago

rbwhitaker commented 2 years ago

The second operand on a shift used to need to be an int or convertible to an int. These can now take advantage of generic math.

I don't think this one necessarily deserves a mention. I wasn't calling out this type of limitation, to removing the limitation maybe also doesn't require addressing the lessening of the limitation.

After additional consideration, this does not need to be covered specifically in the book. Bitshifting is a relatively advanced topic, and the thought that it makes sense to be an integer or similar is unsurprising. So I don't think it is worth specifically calling this out, though I do like the feature.
