Urgh, you're right... I double-checked 6.5.7.4 in the standard but 
managed to miss 6.5.7.3. So yeah, even though "4 << 62" or "2 << 63" are 
well-defined here, "1  << 64" isn't, dang. Thanks, funky old ISAs which 
did weird things for crazy large shifts and have no relevance to this 
code :(

Cheers,
Robin.
