I don't understand how this addresses the WARNING. Can you provide
an example set of inputs that trigger the issue?

Also this change introduces a mixed-sign comparison, so NACK on
this particular patch unless it can be demonstrated that the
implicit type conversion here is benign (I don't think it is,
but I haven't thought through it).
