How come "unsigned int" instead of "unsigned long"?

Not quite true.  People binding Allegro to other languages or storing 
the address of `rest' into a pointer will probably notice, but neither 
are common enough to matter.

Does this mean more argument/return types will become unsigned in 
future?  I reckon unsigned-ness can be a bitch to work with.  The 
"unsigned" keyword is just too long, and yet it feels gratuitous to 
typedef unsigned int uint.
