	Also, how many machines do you know where the time to shift
	is a linear function of the shift count??

Rather a lot, really; the KA10 PDP-10 processor, for one.  Back in the Dark
Ages, before everybody had barrel shifters, the instruction time for a
shift instruction was a linear function of the shift count on almost all
machines.
