One problem is that I can't follow that advice in the case of the
largest supported integer. That is, I can't say:
type T is range 0..2**64-1;
so I have to use a modular type.
Unsigned types are often used in C when modular arithmetic is *not*
desired -- the desire is for non-negative numbers, and unsigned gives a
wider range of them (avoids wasting a bit).
