It might be rare, but there's nothing wrong with using lsh for its
intended purpose, which is handling negative numbers correctly in
several different situations.

Byte-compiler warnings are supposed to point out problems.  Using lsh is
not a problem, using lsh incorrectly is, so it should not issue warnings
for all uses of lsh.
