Heh, who told me that C supports '>>>' operator... there's no such
operator in that language.

Since PHP doesn't support unsigned shift operations that are
represented by '<<<' or '>>>' in the C language, bit shift operations
are done in "sign-respectful" manner, where the most significant bit
will never be changed. This is expected behaviour, but not documented
yet.

Description:
------------
Bitwise shift right operator returns negative result (most significant
bit set) for negative input (left operand).

Following assert fails (though should NOT)

assert((1 << 31 >> 31) == 1);

Reproduce code:
---------------
assert((1 << 31 >> 31) == 1);

Actual result:
--------------
assertion failed
