Unsigned Arithmetic -- Humble Recommendation for Improving Scala

Hi Peter,

> I can appreciate what you are trying to accomplish with this but I'm worried about the fact that the resulting type would be operation dependent.

And, what's wrong with that?

> Is it really worth cluttering up the specification to handle the one case of Char * Char? I suppose that's a matter of opinion based on just how badly one needs that operation. :)

I agree that some might find that a matter of taste. For me that's not
the case for I see that as a flaw in the current semantics of Scala
which I am pushing the fixture of. On the other hand, the most recent
change that I recommended is not such a seismic one.

TTFN,
