...wait. Now I remember why I did this: it's not that we expect it to be
unsigned, it's that the largest possible u32 value cannot be expressed in a
i32, and I think the C side of things uses i32. Days like this I really wish
we had a u31...

think it would be OK for us to convert this to unsigned on the C side of
things?
