Good point. About it, we should also take into account the recent
messages from Martin, pointing out that many C++ front-ends do not warn
for signed -> unsigned.
About the library itself, I'm also concerned by the weakness of our
pragma system_header vs templates, which makes the whole warning game
always very dangerous...
