C99 says that signed types shall be stored as a sign bit, value bits and
optional padding bits. If the sign bit is zero then the value of the object
is the same as if it were unsigned. If the sign bit is one then you can
choose from:

- sign and magnitude
- two's complement
- one's complement

(unsigned types can also have padding bits).
