when comparing signed and unsigned numbers, the compiler promotes
the signed number to coomon type -- in this case, the unsigned type,
so they can be compared. but sometimes, it matters. and after the
promotion, the comparison yields the wrong result. this can be
manifested using a short sample like:
```
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int x = -1;
unsigned y = 2;
fmt::print("{}\n", x < y);
return 0;
}
```
this error can be identified by `-Werror=sign-compare`, but before
enabling this compiling option. let's use `std::cmp_*()` to compare
them.
