[Python-Dev] longobject.c & ob_size

Asking mostly for curiousity, how hard would it be to have longs store
their sign bit somewhere less aggravating?  It seems to me that the
top bit of ob_digit[0] is always 0, for example, and I'm sure this
would result no less convolution in longobject.c it'd be considerably
more localized convolution.

Cheers,
