->Yes, the type of the result of any arithmetic combination of operands
->having a single arithmetic type is the same type as that of the operands.
-But note that the usual arithmetic conversions are still performed.
-So if s1 and s2 have type short int, for example, the expression
-(s1+s2) has type int, not short int.

Yes, I was trying to put it succinctly.  What I described was strictly
accurate only for arithmetic types that don't undergo the usual arithmetic
conversions when combined with other operands of their own type.  Unsigned
int is one of those.
