   That last one is an interesting example. I may not care about   
   short circuiting, but I am _very_ _very_ aware of the combined   
   unsigned integers and signed integers issues in C expressions. :-(   
      
   It also affects how I look at the same issues in other languages.   
      
   I've mentioned this before, but I think languages should give you   
   unsigned integers by default, and you should have to ask for   
   a signed integer if you really want one.
