Even further on the side:  I wrote up a proposal for finally
introducing a wrapping UNSIGNED type to Fortran, which hopefully
will be considered in the next J3 meeting, it can be found at
https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/24/24-102.txt .
 
In this proposal, I intended to forbid UNSIGNED variables in
DO loops, especially for this sort of reason.

(Testing a new news server, my old one was decomissioned...)

I was quite delighted, but also a little bit surprised that the
proposal (somewhat modified) actually passed.

Now, what's left is the people who do not want modular arithmetic,
for a reason that I am unable to fathom.  I guess they don't like
multiplicative hashes...
