`lhs`		The variable to assign to.
`rhs`		The value to shift
`lhs`		right by.

Description

This operator shifts the bits in its left-hand side (lhs) parameter a number of times specified by its right-hand side (rhs) parameter, and assigns the result to lhs. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs Shr rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.
