Bitwise right (or Left) shift functions in PL/SQL

I'm sure you know that a shift operation on a binary number correspondsponds to a multiplication or division by a power of two. Is there any reason you can't just do the appropriate arithmetic?
As far as I know there is no actual register shift operation in PL/SQL. That's the sort of thing better done in machine language, or maybe with a external procedure call.
