Unsigned integers shouldn't exist. If the programmer wants to check whether the number is greater than 0, or greater than 42, he can do it himself a lot faster than a try{} catch{} block in terms of both programming and runtime. Creating the extra datatype would add completely unnecessary complexity to the situation. Unnecessary complexity is the root of all evil.
