The inclusion of the 'int' part obscures what I think the real problem 
is.. 

   Does it make sense to use uniary-minus on a unsigned type?

My answer.. no.  But the counter argument that will likely come up is 
generic behavior.  So, to prempt that.. does unary minus have any useful 
meaning for MOST types?  My answer is still no. :)
