---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The code for Int {{{(div x c)}}} where {{{c}}} is a constant of the form
 2^n^ should be implemented with an arithmetic right shift, currently it's
 a call to a function.  This optimization should be done for all signed
 types.
