[cc65] range error (was: bitwise not broken in ca65?)

>The range error check in older versions of the assembler did miss all
cases where the number was negative, which is why some >constructs
worked when they shouldn't have worked. To see why the old assembler
version was wrong, just try lda #-300 It is silently >truncated to "$A9
$D4". This has now been fixed, which results in a diagnostic for old
code that exploits the behaviour.

just my few cents:

if
.byte 3,2,1,0,-1,-2,-3
is not compiling I find this annoying
