That's still not right, but I guess it's just the fault of a poorly chosen
name :-)  I'm applying your patch and fixing 'xor', but at some point we
should remove 'nonneg' and replace it with 'maybe_neg', which means (if True)  
that the integer can possibly be negative.  It's easier to reason with that
than with the double negations incurred by a name like 'nonneg'...
