By passing go type check when performing bitwise operator

[Albert Tedja]

 I am trying to perform some bitwise operators, but Go is not letting me because the mask is an uint and the values are int. Setting the mask to int will break the code since I am shifting bits right and left and prefer the prefix 0 when shifting right, and if I am not mistaken, Go does not have >>>.

This has been changed in the upcoming 1.13 release, so you might want to try the latest release candidate.

Int(uint(a) >> uint(b))

Is always ok, costs nothing, not a type safety issue.

Not like Java, Go supports unsigned integers, so >>> is not essential in Go.
