      MinKey is defined as -1, so a signed char must be used to store BSONType
      enumerations. Using a char to store a negative value results in
      undefined behaviour. On i386 and amd64 architectures it happens to work
      because on these platforms a char is generally signed, but this is not
      guaranteed.
