Comment (by teor):

 Nick, your script looks like it does the opposite of cpp -E
 -DUNSAFE_SIGNED_LSHIFT (which is handy).

 The only existing (relevant) left shifts that it misses are two performed
 on signed char types in ge_scalarmult_base.c. I had also missed one of
 these. (I've attached a patch which standardises both of these shifts
 using new SHL8().)

 All other left shifts are performed on (signed) constants or unsigned
 types.
