The more you bring up features to give the axe to, the more I find it funny that, not being a very good language lawyer, I wasn't aware that half of these features existed in the first place. This is one of them. Yes, definitely get rid of it. It makes absolutely no sense. If you want to treat your number like a signed int, then it should require an explicit cast.
