In some cases it can be useful to interpret :class:`intbv` objects
in terms of "signed" and "unsigned". Basically, it depends on attribute *min*.
if *min* < 0, then the object is "signed", otherwise it is "unsigned".
In particular, the bit width of a "signed" object will account for

return value from a slicing operation is always "unsigned".
In some applications, it is desirable to convert an "unsigned"
:class:`intbv` to a "signed", in other words, to interprete the msb
bit as a sign bit.
The msb bit is the highest order bit within the object's bit width.
For this purpose, :class:`intbv` provides the
:class:`intbv` to a "signed", in other words, to interpret the msb bit
as a sign bit. The msb bit is the highest order bit within the object's
bit width. For this purpose, :class:`intbv` provides the
:meth:`intbv.signed` method. For example::
>>> a = intbv(12, min=0, max=16)
