Additional notes (November, 2025)
Issue 2185 has clarified that const int is, in fact, not a "signed integer type", but it is an "integer type".

Notes from the June, 2016 meeting:
See issue 2185.

6.9.2 [basic.fundamental] paragraph 2 says that
There are four signed integer types: "signed char", "short int", "int", and "long int."
This would indicate that const int is not a signed integer type.
