Currently, NumberLongs are automatically cast to numbers when arithmetic is performed on them (courtesy of .toNumber()). This means that doing something like trying to subtract two NumberLongs returns a double-precision number, not a NumberLong. This causes a loss of precision, and this in turn means that hashed shard key values can't be manipulated in the shell.
Supporting natural syntax like NumberLong("...") - NumberLong("...") isn't necessary, it would suffice to be able to do something like NumberLong("...").subtract(NumberLong("...")) and get back a NumberLong.
