 When going from one fixed signed type to a larger (signed or unsigned)
 through implicit casting, the caller might be accidentally extending the
 sign bit. It is likely better to explicitly cast before manipulation to
 the final value. There is a case of this implicit sign extension in
 FrequencyListDescriptor::Frequency() in libmythtv.
