B is not a subset of A. That is the relationship of uint and int—two

I know, I am slicing the baloney thin here, but uint is
not a static C variable. It can change into an int with
the position of the moon.
I’m STILL waiting for you to show me ONE example of a `uint` turning
into `int`. Not `Int`, via auto-boxing, `int`, via who-knows-what.
Either do that, or stop making the assertion it does that; if you don’t
show a reproducible example, I am going to conclude you are lying if you
persist.
$ p6 'my uint8 $u; say $u.^name;'
Int
