Btw., we've also had the need for signed/unsigned conversion in
our library in the past. We dealt with it by adding a typedef or
two to numeric_limits, something like this (we don't have them
anymore but at one point private versions of them were in there):

   numeric_limits<T>::signed_type
   numeric_limits<T>::unsigned_type

Thanks for the data point. Imho that puts us a notch closer to a proposal.

You don't mean a proposal to add them to numeric_limits, do you? (Sorry, just to be sure! :-))

My personal hat on: I hope not.


My LWG Chair hat on: The LWG will entertain all reasonable proposals.
