int type's positive half. Yeah, it leaves a lot of potential values on the table (e.g. PInt32 going from 0 to 2^31-1 where UInt32 would go from 0 to 2^32), but we find that to be a perfectly acceptable max value for `int`s anyway so that's fine.And this way you have fewer problems converting back and forth between a
pint and an int than you would a uint and an int because it's no longer "is it positive and does it fit within this range?", instead just "is it positive?"Smaller problem-space at compile time, means fewer bugs at runtime!
