Agree! Since these are very important and relatively commonly used, I think it'd
be better if they're implemented as new operators ("ror" and "rol") rather than
as functions. Say we'll able to code like this:
a := b ror c;
x := y rol z;
Just what we have now with "shr" and "shl". I believe it won't break any
compatibility with Delphi code, even we have new "feature" of FPC. :)
What do you think?
