A promotion to int (or wider) is implicit in any arithmetic operation,
last I checked the C standard. The "(int)" on the other side isn't
necessary either.
We might actually be better off casting both sides to unsigned int,
just to enforce that the left shifting is done with unsigned semantics.

Meh. If they're not the same thing, we've got big trouble anyway.
But if you want to change it as a cosmetic thing, no objection.
