Although I don't intend to extend the debate; doesn't anyone find it curious
that given this hard requirement, combined with the fact that all current
machine architectures rely on 2's complement signed integer representation
to eliminate the otherwise necessity for distinct signed integer arithmetic
operations; that by extension unsigned and signed integer arithmetic
operations are behaviorally equivalent all current machine implementations
(as well as likely future implementations for the same reasons);

nonsense!  -1/1 = 0 signed, -1 unsigned
-1 < 1 signed, -1>1 unsigned
