+Because `0` is an integer constant, `-0` is an integer, too. Integers have no
+concept of "negative zero," so it is the same as plain `0`.
+
+The value is then widened to a floating-point number. And while floating-point
+numbers have a concept of "negative zero," the integral `0` is widened to the
+floating-point "positive" zero.
+
+To write a negative zero, you have to write a constant that is a floating-point
+number. One simple way to do that is to write `-0.0`.
