but not if it has conversion rank larger then unsigned and the result
of the substraction has a negative result. So what you think of

#define isdigit(a) (((0?1ULL:(a))-'0') < 10ULL)

This ensures that the type of the left is always ullong, so the
substraction overflows to something big if a is not a digit.
