We weren't talking about that.  If that is what you want to do, why
would you add the conversion to a floating point type?  Even if you like
extra conversions, it will be undefined for some integer values.

The issue was to detect if an integer /type/ is signed or unsigned.
That can be done without guessing a magic value and hoping the
conversion is defined the way you want.

The simple way is to test (T)-1.  You don't like that (which is fine --
I'm never going to be reading your C code) but people searching for this
topic in the future should be able to find the right to do it.
