The data being manipulated does start out as signed 32-bit integers -
its the Logical Shift operations in the Interfaces package that are
expecting Unsigned_32 types as input parameters.

After a good night's sleep - the Unchecked_Conversion seems like the
best choice here, if I want to stick with using the Interfaces package.
