Comment (by rwbarton):

 Might not be possible inside integer-gmp for dependency reasons (`error`
 is defined in base which depends on integer-gmp) but certainly possible in
 the instance in Data.Bits. Having `shiftLInteger` itself crash on negative
 shifts is fine IMHO as it's not intended for end-user use.
