The intbv.signed() function will classify the value of the intbv
instance either as signed or unsigned. If the value is classified
as signed it will be returned unchanged as integer value. If the
value is considered unsigned, the value will be returned as
integer value, with the sign being considered by the msb. The msb
is the msb as specified by _nrbits.
value is considered unsigned, the bits as specified by _nrbits
will be considered as 2's complement number and returned. This
feature will allow to create slices and have the sliced bits be
considered a 2's complement number.
The classification is based on the following possible combinations
of the min and max value.

So the test will be if min >= 0 and _nrbits > 0. Then the instance
