I explained already but here again: you will need to have "this_signal <<= (that_signal << 4) + something, and next line you should be able to write this_signal <<= 4 bit, where all arithmetic operation still have to be kept. Otherwise it makes signal doesn't look like a value ... it needs to be looking like a integer but with a different assignment behavior. In hardware design domain a signal is just a value but with its own assignment behavior involving delta-cycles (a virtual time step increase of the value zero ... I know it is a bit confusing to SW developers). So the intention is to keep all arithmetic ops like a int, but only changing how the assignment is done.
What I understand is that you are doing discrete-time hardware simulation and that you need a operator that will schedule future assigments to int-like objects. Have you considered using '@' to do that? int @ int-expression is currently invalid, so defining it will not interfere with other int operations. What am I not understanding?
