There won't be any "unsigned" type in 2.0. Maybe in 3.0 ? :-)

Logically, you can use Integer to work as if it was unsigned in almost any 
case. Arithmetic is the same, and shift instructions have signed and unsigned 
variants (Asr/Lsr, Asl/Lsl). Like in assembler!

The only problem is when you want to print them. You can use Long datatype as 
a workaround to do that. But then you will want unsigned Long, won't you?
