Right you are!  If I only could type what my brain wants to say I'd look
like a genius.  As it is, I embody Mark Twain's advice: Better to keep quiet
and let people think you're an idiot instead of opening your mouth and
confirming it!

And I just followed right along in my reply to you.  [hanging head in shame]

But that doesn't invalidate my comments about u (unsigned integers) being
better than i (signed integers) for some purposes.
