Ah, yeah, that last one was what really annoyed me, and it was pretty
recent. I never understood the logic of that. I mean the starting value
is already `byte`, why does its negation have to auto-promote to int?!
But thus sez the rulez, so who am I to question it amirite? :-(
It annoyed me so much that I wrote a wrapper module just to work around
it. Basically you append a `.np` to any of your narrow int values, and
it wraps it in an infectious struct that auto-truncates arithmetic
operations. The presence of the `.np` is a kind of self-documentation
that we're flouting the usual int promotion rules, so I'm reasonably
happy with this hack. :-P
Now somebody just has to write a wrapper for signed/unsigned
conversions... ;-)
