Doh! So I was. I didn't even look at the argument list when I saw it because I've never overloaded the unary +!
I don't know anyone who does, but I assume that someone out there, someone will, and would be irritated if it didn't work the same as the built in integer types.

I was just wishing, when I wrote that, that I did know someone who did that... purely out of curiosity, I wanted to ask why they (i.e. you) did that? Is it just to make it more obvious that it's supposed to be a positive number instead of a negative one?
