Triple-shift operator #120
Description
Dart integers are now 64-bit signed numbers. That makes the >>> logical down-shift operator useful again. (It existed once, but with arbitrary size integers, the it didn't make sense to do unsigned shifiting any more).
This is a request for the >>> operator. It makes sense in other cases too (like the Int64 class).
Associated feature specification has more details.
Implementation issue: #478

[-]Dart integers have no logical down-shift operator.[/-][+]Triple-shift operator[/+]rashedmyt commentedon Jan 26, 2020
@lrhn In the 2nd para of the Background section in feature-specification, it is mentioned that dart integers are unsigned 64 bit which is the opposite of what said in the above comment..

Thanks, good catch. That should definitely be signed 64-bit integers.
Fixed.

@lrhn I think this can be closed now 🙌
