The C++ APIs use unsigned integers all over the place. Python, however, does not have an easy way to declare unsigned integers. This makes auto conversions from Python to C++ painful in a number of places. Somehow we need to provide Python users nicer ways to interact with these APIs without sacrificing the non-negative guarantee the unsigned integer type provides to the C++ code.
This issue affects a number of repos, so I just put it in the .github repo. If there's a better place for it feel free to move it.
