They could get us unsigned integers and not just the positive part of
integers. By unsigned I mean unsigned with runtime checking.

Quoting C unsigned as a reason for not having real unsigned is pretty bogus
because C integers seems to wrap very well.

We don't want to abandon runtime checks on integers just because C does not
do any checking.
