Code inspection: Use unsigned right shift operator '>>>'

This inspection recognizes a cumbersome code pattern that C# developers had to write to perform the unsigned right shift for signed types. It suggests replacing such patterns with the unsigned right shift operator >>>, introduced in C# 11.

            
  void ReadData(int headerValue)
  {
    var shifted = (int)((uint) headerValue >> 1);
    // read shifted data
  }

        

            
  void ReadData(int headerValue)
  {
    var shifted = headerValue >>> 1;
    // read shifted data
  }
