In the same vein (people may have noticed that "Pick one" is meant to
make this into multiple micros ;-)

### Use unsigned integral type for collection of bits.

Pick one field of a structure that (1) is of signed integral type and (2) is
used as a collection of multiple bits. Discuss if there is a good reason
why it has to be a signed integral field and change it to an unsigned
type otherwise.  Cf. $gmane/263751
