RE: unsigned -- why a V2K keyword?

Precedence: bulk

If so, then 'unsigned' would be receiving uniquely special treatment. Why
not 'enum', 'typedef', etc.?

Also, according to 2.7.3, keywords "are predefined nonescaped identifiers
that are used to define the language constructs", but this is not true of
'unsigned'.

There may have been a desire to reserve unsigned in case it was needed in
the future.
