Could the type-check be moved into one of the debug builds?
That would give the coverage without slowing down all builds?
Adding -Wsign-compare is a PITA until gcc adds value tracking
to it, not just a type check.
Otherwise it bleats about:
int rval = fn();
if (rval < 0)
return rval;
if (rval > unsigned_value)
