Subject: Zero-fill right shift.
From: leight@gmail.com (Leigh)

Hi list,

How do we feel about a zero-fill right shift operator?

PHPs current right shift operator preserves signage, but this is not
always desirable.

I propose the same syntax as JavaScript for this: >>>

php -r 'var_dump(-256 >> 8);'
int(-1)

php -r 'var_dump(-256 >>> 8);'
int(16777215)

This will introduce a T_SHRZF token and corresponding opcode. Targeting PHP 7.
