Why there is no `shr`/`shl` for

UByte

?

Good question. I suggest you open an issue: https://kotl.in/issue :youtrack:

Ultimately, all integral operators on the JVM convert to and return

Int

. I imagine that is the limitation at play. (Correction, this is only for integral types <= 32 bits)

For the same reason as why there are no such operations defined on `Byte`: we haven't yet decided what their behavior should be. You can follow https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-31083.

Oh that's interesting, I thought there is one for Byte. TIL
