--- Comment #5 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
All right, so the meaning of the UInteger type is actually that users can't set
the flag/param to a negative value:
$ gcc -fabi-version=-3 a.c
gcc: error: argument to '-fabi-version=' should be a non-negative integer
Plus there are very many flags that are initialized to -1 with Init(-1). The
special value is used for distinguishing between a set value and the default
one.
So the name is unfortunate, but I don't see what can we do about it?
