Guys, In most parts of the source code, the zoneid is unsigned,

we assign or expect -1 to be the zoneid, for example in what
psh prints and expects to see.
It would seem that we want the zoneid to be unsigned except
for when its value is -1. This seems... like it could lead to
confusion or other bad things.
It looks to me like it's neither signed nor unsigned, but rather an
opaque type. It supports only equality tests, not general arithmetic
ones, so signedness doesn't seem to come into it.
What kind of confusion are you expecting?
If it is an opaque type, then how does it get printed?
As an unsigned integer for all values, except -1, or as a signed integer?
