             nThis:


The compiler allows the following code, directly from the spec:

int c;
c << 33;        // error

Even though "[i]t's illegal to shift by more bits than the size of the quantity
being shifted". I'm not sure if this is a useful restriction, but either the
spec or DMD is in error.
