Asking mostly for curiousity, how hard would it be to have longs store their sign bit somewhere less aggravating?
As I guess your goal is to get rid of all the "if (size < 0) size = -size" in object.c and friends, I should point out that longobject.c has set out an example that might have been followed by C extension writers. Maybe it is too late to say now that ob_size cannot be negative any more :-( Armin
