This is not worse than returning always decimal numbers 0. and 1.
And better than returning booleans, for u-int8 and u-int16, since a 
boolean is stored on 4 bytes.

By the way, providing a result with the same integer type as the input 
straightforwardly allows many operations between the input and the 
result, if required.
