I think Eli was suggesting reverting lsh to the traditional behavior for fixnums, for backwards-compatibility reasons.

There doesn't seem to be a good way to extend this behavior for bignums, so I installed the attached patch that simply makes it an error to invoke (lsh A B) where A is a negative bignum and B is negative. This patch also adds some test cases inspired by one of your previous emails (thanks).
