Notes from the February, 2016 meeting:

CWG felt that a reasonable approach might be to define <<N as equivalent to multiplying by 2^N in all cases; see also the resolution of issue 1457. The resolution of this question should also be coordinated with SG6 and SG12, as well as with WG14.

A shift of zero bits should result in the left operand regardless of its sign. However, the current wording of 7.6.7 [expr.shift] paragraph 2 makes it undefined behavior.
