There is no need for operators to be composed from nonalphabetic characters. You could use a function (shift is already taken, but ashift and ushift for arithmetic shift and unsigned shift are free and value, direction and shift width are parameters). Or you could use an operator with a name similar to assembler instructions (asl, asr for arithmetic shift left and right, lsl and lsr for logical shift left and right). I rather prefer this to an arbitrary number of angle brackets. > 2.
