After the discussion, I got the point that the original implementation of `LSHR` for bytes/shorts is useful and needed. So let's just keep it. Yes, we think the operator for scalar `>>>` is needed for several reasons: 1. We do have scalar `>>>` upon bytes/shorts in real programs. 2. There is usually no guarantee that all the operands would be non-negative for `>>>`. 3. Make it to be programmed more easily and also reduce the possibility to make mistakes. Java developers would be happy and appreciated with that operator I believe. Thanks. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8276
