	##//lhs//##
		The left-hand side expression.
	##//rhs//##
		The right-hand side shift expression.

{{fbdoc item="ret"}}
	Returns the result of ##//lhs//## being shifted right ##//rhs//## number of times.

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	**##Operator Shr## (Shift right)** shifts all of the bits in the left-hand side expression (##//lhs//##) right a number of times specified by the right-hand side expression (##//rhs//##). Numerically, the result is the same as "##[[KeyPgInt Int]](//lhs//## [[KeyPgOpDivide /]] ##2 [[KeyPgOpExponentiate ^]] //rhs//)##". For example, "##&b0101 **Shr** 1##" returns the binary number ##&b010##, and "##5 **Shr** 1##" returns ##2##.

	If the left-hand side expression is signed and negative, the sign bit is copied in the newly created bits on the left after the shift.  For example, "##-5 **Shr** 2##" returns ##-2##.

	Neither of the operands are modified in any way.

	The results of this operation are undefined for values of ##//rhs//## less than zero, or greater than or equal to the number of bits in the result's data type.

	This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
