What about naming the alias ​UnsignedIntegerField.

Has patch: set

I've started a branch using the name proposed by charettes:

​https://github.com/ramiro/django/compare/t19365-positiveintegerfield-alias

I wonder how changes like this interact with South migrations and if there is something we need to to differently. Opinions and hints welcome.

I'm -1 on this change: "there should be one -- and preferably only one -- way to do it." I don't see the need to have multiple names for the same field. Yes, the name isn't perfect, but it's fine.
