* `map` on a dictionary now expects a function that expects and returns a `Pair`.
The result is now another dictionary instead of an array ([#16622]).

* Bit shift operations (i.e. `<<`, `>>`, and `>>>`) now handle
negative shift counts differently: Negative counts are interpreted
as shifts in the opposite direction. For example, `4 >> -1 == 4 <<
+1 == 8`. Previously, negative counts would implicitly overflow to
large positive counts, always yielding either `0` or `-1`.
