Ok, so we're currently deserializing "-1" into unsigned integer types and allow
deserializing out of range values into several integer types.

Fixing this might break other things so we should probably wait for this until
0.11 and clean everything up and make it more strict then.

It might make sense to use a copy of GLib's internal g_parse_long_long() for
this as it will give the magnitude of values and it's sign so we can reliably
detect all kind of weird things that happen because of overflows currently.
