Those operations could easily be allowed. But it's not an accident that they're
not currently implemented. The question is, is it a good idea?
anything ^^ BigInt and anything << BigInt will ALWAYS overflow, if the BigInt
doesn't actually fit into an int.
So except for a few toy cases, such as the example here, such operations are
always bugs in the user's code.
Do we really want to allow such a bug-prone operation which provides no useful
functionality?
