That's not what I said. I have thought about it. I cannot think of any rationale for allowing only non-negative numbers. As a matter of fact, I knew about this issue when I implemented string-hash in Ikarus and have decided that the Ikarus implementation should return a fixnum (positive or negative), not a non-negative exact integer as R6RS seems to require.
