At least, I expect that 0x80000000 will fit in 32 bits and it still will be an integer. This is logical, isn't? :)
Not if you expect the same thing of -0x80000000.

That's clearly as falsified a statement as saying that you have _no control_ over the sign bit.

"Nobody really needs it" is many times a good and true statement, but I don't think it has been used before in this thread, has it? The
Not in this thread, but looong time ago I discussed this already.
part of the modules that are useless probably depends on your scope of vision and ability as programmer. I have used most of the modules, so by definition they are not useless to me.
For instance, Mird, Math, Parser, SDL, Shuffler, Georgrahy etc - most of them are useless to me, and I bet that for vast majority of Pike users too :)
OTOH, there was no function like gettimeofday() in earlier versions, and there is no (still) strftime() like function (yes, I know about Calendar module but it is too overcomplicated for simple purposes, and much slower), however those two are more frequently used comparing to Parser :)
