My personal issue with unsigned ints in general as implemented in C-like languages is that the range of non-negative signed integers is half of the range of corresponding unsigned integers (for same size).
* practically: known issues, and bugs if not checked by the language
* conceptually: contradicts the "obvious" idea that unsigned (aka naturals) is a subset of signed (aka integers)
