In my experience, using both int and unsigned int nips a
certain amount of bugs in the bud, and hasn't introduced new
ones. Of course, YMMV. Another poster mentioned that some
compilers don't emit warnings for signed/unsigned comparison
mismatches and the like, but IMO this is either a QoI issue
or the user hasn't turned them on.
