[pypy-issue] [issue851] PyPy does not optimize division into shifts

[anon]

New submission from anon <b10419697 at klzlk.com>:

When dividing integers by powers of two, PyPy does not optimize the division
into a binary shift.

for i in range(10**8):
    j = i//2

can be written as

for i in range(10**8):
    j = i>>1

since we know i is an integer.
