Paul committed a patch in the meantime (independently, I think?) which does add tests. I'll try to write some more.
Yes, I noticed the logior etc. problem separately and fixed it in master without knowing about this bug report. There are some other bignum problems too that need fixing and are in my pipeline.
can we agree that lsh and ash behave the same for bignums?
It would be weird for lsh to act one way for negative bignums, and a different and incompatible way for negative fixnums. Instead, I suggest that we deprecate lsh, as it doesn't make sense any more now that integers have unbounded size. While we're deprecating it, we can make (lsh A B) signal an error if A is a bignum and B is negative, since there's nothing we can do there that is reasonable and is compatible with the fixnum behavior.
