Signed, according to the C standard.

You can't, AFAIK.

Why would you need to?  Just like mixing sugned and unsigned is
looking for trouble, so, too, using unsigned where signed should have
been used is looking for trouble of similar kind.  If someone wrote
code to work with sugned int's, you had better not change that to use
unsigned, because the code will most probably break.
