I think 3 is the correct solution.

You are right in saying that it disallows legitimate use cases such as
"uniform(-2, 5u)", but currently these don't work, so we don't break any code.

You are also right in saying that it incurs a small performance hit but (a) it
is negligible compared to the generation of a random number, and (b) the user
can easily fix it by not using mixed signed/unsigned.
