May well be that GCC isn't as mean as I portrayed it, and hopefully
won't ever be.  But it's not ISO C that forbids this interpretation.
I'm less fluent with C++ about whether the cast there makes more
guarantees.

My suggestion to use the corresponding unsigned types in intparam.c
was apparently flawed, as they can have more value bits.  I guess you
knew this already.

Cheers,
