BTW: Since I haven't heard a response yet, I'll point out that I am
aware of Gosling's argument against unsigned types in Java and while I
agree with his characterization that they are at times misused in C/C++,
I disagree with excluding them, as they are sorely missed for some
classes of applications, for which Gosling's suggestion of "using the
next larger integer size" is not appropriate.
So, specifically, is there any chance of adding unsigned 32 & 64 bit
integer types to X10?
