Unsigned integers shouldn't exist.  If the programmer wants to check
whether the number is greater than 0, or greater than 42, he can do it
himself a lot faster than a try{} catch{} block in terms of both
programming and runtime.  Creating the extra datatype would add
completely unnecessary complexity to the situation.     Unnecessary
complexity is the root of all evil.
