For those of us who don't always get it, can you explain this line:

-  /* There's no ABS for HOST_WIDE_INT, so here we go. It also takes care
-     of the asymmetric range of the integer type.  */
-  n = (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) (m < 0 ? -m : m);
+  n = wi::abs (wrhs).to_shwi ();                <======
