The usual arithmetic conversions linked from the article [0] are a bit different from the ones I know. In particular, if int can represent all values of all operands, both of them will be converted to int. Thus comparing unsigned short and short will usually (if short is narrower than int) do the right thing. C++Insights (which I didn't know! This is the real pearl of this article.) agrees with me [1].
