Review Comment:
   That would be an API change which would break all specific (i.e. positiv or 
negative equals) checks for -1 in all integrations.
   If a one-parameter method that defaults to `Integer.MIN_VALUE` is necessary 
(IMHO it is not), it would have to be a new one, e.g. `getIntSigned(COSName)` 
(and similar for array, possibly for other number types).
   The only change in this regard that I consider necessary is improving the 
API documentation of `getInt(COSName)` (and similar methods) to clarify that 
they cannot be used if the result may be negative.
