Supposedly, Modula-2 is a good systems programming language; but it
has no native bit-shifting operations.  Aren't bit-shifting
operations important tools for EFFICIENT systems programming?
Turbo Pascal and "C" have native bit-shifting operations, but not
Modula-2.  Was this omission a wise design decision?  I would like
to read some opinions on this question.
