In Swift (Apple’s C++ successor), the normal operators (`+`, `-`, `*`) trap on overflow for integer types. If you want twos complement wrapping, you can use `&+`, `&-`, and `&*`.

Given that Apple has been making its own CPU cores for years now, I suspect overflowing checking on Apple CPUs is virtually free (aside from code size).

Resubmitting it seems timely, given recent Linux kernel news (e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/1065889/).

The archive says "12/14", so 2014 seems about right.
