Hi,

It depends for what purpose you need unsigned int.

If you want to ensure that the user does not give you a negative value, 
then you can check it at runtime, in a property setter for example.

There is no need for unsigned arithmetic, since the runtime 
representation of both signed and unsigned ints are the same. Only 
comparisons > and < differ, so you might want to write your own 
comparison function.

Perhaps you could give more infos about what you're trying to acheive 
and why you need unsigned int for that ?
