I can't say it's a usual pattern, but yes, you are right and your solution will work even without signedness change.

Jinjie have sent a V2 with int I. And since I assume that loop format a matter of taste, I am going to Ack it. If you think that it is not only matter of taste or Jinjie wants to follow the suggested approach then I will be happy to Ack a new patch with the different loop implementation.
