The Java virtual machine only includes signed numbers, so the simplest
solution was to do the same in Nice. This said, most operations are the same
whether the numbers are signed or not. It would be possible to add unsigned
numbers, and to overload the few operations that differ (comparison, display
to string). Let me know if you are interested to work on that and need help
with it.
