Notice that in your rendition you're assuming that you can convert any

If you read Nathan's mail correctly, the cast is implementation defined
and not undefined behavior so your argument does not work.
Quote from Nathan's mail (the emphases are not mine but Nathan's which
means he wanted
to you to read that part and not say it was undefined behavior):
(provided we're on the standard 2's complement machine where the
mapping between negative ints and unsigned is *implementation defined*
to be the sane mapping, which I might point out you've already assumed
in the wrap_sum I quoted).
