So, you say 1s-complement is better than 2s-complement? Is ~15 clearer
than -16? ;-)
I say it's best to stick to the idioms of the language you're coding in :)
My "native" language is assembler, and it doesn't have an easy way to
specify the former.
Bit twiddling in C can be tricky and not as intuitive as assembler. But
it's trivial to write macros to make it easy.

I certainly wouldn't encourage anybody to use negative numbers for bit
mask values!
Why not just write an aligned memory allocator which stashes an extra
pointer in a known location for easy freeing?
