I'm pretty sure I don't deserve credit for that.  If you look at the rest
of that commit, you can see that I checked in the entire reference manual
and user manual.  I did contribute a bunch of documentation, including much
of the original debugging documentation, but I definitely didn't write both
of those manuals.  In fact, you can see "@author by Chris Hanson" in both
of them.

What to do?


Considering how frequently people have come to different interpretations of
the abbreviation lsh, perhaps it should be renamed to logical-shift or
something else unambiguous.
