However, the fact that you can freely mix signed and unsigned

If this kind of unsafe mixing wasn't allowed, or required

about
this issue. ;-)
If usage of unsigned types is not controlled, they will
systematically mix with signed types, the mix becomes normal flow
of the code. Disallowing normal flow of the code is even worse.
