SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS

/* Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT
 * C doesn't define whether a right-shift of a signed integer sign-extends
 * or zero-fills.  Here a macro to force sign extension:
 * Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT(TYPE, I, J)
 *    Return I >> J, forcing sign extension.
 * Requirements:
 *    I is of basic signed type TYPE (char, short, int, long, or long long).
 *    TYPE is one of char, short, int, long, or long long, although long long
 *    must not be used except on platforms that support it.
 *    J is an integer >= 0 and strictly less than the number of bits in TYPE
 *    (because C doesn't define what happens for J outside that range either).
 * Caution:
 *    I may be evaluated more than once.
