Yes, this is definitely a nice to have. The code currently responsible for producing integers is the same for signed & unsigned types, located here. This would need to be specialized for signed integers, such that the encoding for negative numbers is considered strictly larger than the encoding for positive numbers. |

It seems that integers currently shrink toward
typemin(Int):I have trouble reading these many-digit numbers, so it's hard to tell if an assertion like
-9223372036854775808 < -9223372036854775808is correct or not. I think I would have an easier time making sense of the errors if they shrank toward zero instead so that the assertions were more like0 < 1.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
