Aren't unsigned numbers in kotlin 1.3.x already?

Not using unsigned numbers myself I can't be sure of all that there is available or not, but Kotlin 1.3 covers unsigned numbers doesn't it? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/whatsnew13.html#unsigned-integers

Yes, they actually are present

However this library was developed back into 2016 (published at very begin of 2017) and at that time there was yet no other way to get unsigned on Kotlin.

Moreover, in 1.3 (inline classes) they do not extend Number, making usage in some generic methods, such as in glm, pretty impossible

I tried to suggest to convert Number from abstract class to interface, (inline classes can extends only interfaces) but the usage case was too irrilevant for them
