      Description

      if you try a field def like

      i32 my_field = -0x7fff

      the compiler complains. If you try to make the value a two's complement negative number without the sign, then it assumes it was supposed to be a long, and the Java compiler chokes on the assignment.

      It'd be nice if we supported negative hex literals.
