I concur. However, the fact that you can freely mix signed and unsigned types in unsafe ways without any warning, is a fly that spoils the soup. If this kind of unsafe mixing wasn't allowed, or required explict casts (to signify "yes I know what I'm doing and I'm prepared to face the consequences"), I suspect that bearophile would be much happier about this issue. ;-) T -- MAS = Mana Ada Sistem?
