Is there a reason why the language doesn't provide UB-on-overflow (and wrappring overflow) for both unsigned and signed types?

It always feels dirty deliberately using a signed type for something you know can never be neagtive just because that signed type has other properties you want.



The newest C standard will define signed integers as 2's complement. Getting rid of this instance of UB.
