That wouldn't really simplify much.

This change currently has 5 lines.
3 of those would be needed anyway if we were to define anything < 0 to
mean infinite.

Yes, you could get rid of the two lines with minus_one in them, but
this way we can also use -2 to mean something else in the future if we
ever want to.
