[issue13535] Improved two's complement arithmetic support: to_signed() and to_unsigned()

On the feature request itself, I have to say that I'm unconvinced.  Doing x % (2**32) seems good enough to me, in situations where you don't need the bounds checking.  (And it's not clear to me that needing the bounds checks is the more common situation.)
