Comment is fine :)

I though that we have check that diagnoses `unsigned i = -1;` but I don't find 
it right now (maybe its still in review or so, i belive it was related to 
introducing `std::numeric_limits<>`).
As its well defined and not narrowing and not mentionend by the CPPCG in that 
section its ok, maybe worth an option in the future?
