     ... except it *would* be a new primitive type, just spelled with two
words instead of one:

     - The `unsigned x' could represent values a plain `x' could not,
       and vice versa,

     - Arithmetic on identical `unsigned x' and `x' values could yield
       different results,

     - There would need to be new rules for mixed-mode arithmetic (for
       example, what is `-6 % (unsigned int) 3'?), or a prohibition
       against such expressions.

Different values, different behavior, different rules -> different
types.
