I will say this use of the existing require check only seemed good back then.
But in reality this means that failing an unsigned integer check will print a "failed an integer check" message half the time. And that is not fully correct.

Ideally we would copy&paste the integer check logic in this check but swap out the printed exception

foreach (value in vargv)
{
if (value < 0)
{
::logError(value + " must have the type: unsigned");

I'd argue unsigned isn't actually a type and therefore the error should be something more like.

value + " must have the type: integer, and be greater than or equal to 0"

In that same vein what about the function name? Should it be something like requireUInt?

Yeah maybe that's better too
