Ternary type promotion is a horrible thing.

	foo = a ? b : c;

Everything is type promoted which ever of a, b or c has the most
positive bits.  Or if none of them have 31 positive bits it's
type promoted to int.

I sent a series of patches earlier where one the a, b, or c was
a negative error code and another was a unsigned int.  And foo
was a ssize_t.  Because you end up type promoting the -ENOMEM
to something close to UINT_MAX and then it doesn't sign extend
so the ssize_t value is not negative.
