roundup works just fine on signed integers. Although x should be 
nonnegative and y should be positive, there's no requirement that either 
x or y must be unsigned.

This sort of thing matters in the C style I prefer nowadays, which is to 
use types like ptrdiff_t and idx_t instead of size_t, so that I can 
optionally enable runtime overflow checking that works.
