I had an earlier proposal to define the signed integer representation to be
two's complement. It died because (1) I wasn't proposing to make overflow
defined, which confused people, and (2) I wasn't aware of the two's
complement definition of the intN_t typedefs, which then made the
proposal less pressing.

Those machines have historically been programmed in Algol. I really have
no idea how much C code they run.
