+ *
+ * While in some cases (but not all of them!) plain old C++ operators and casts
+ * will behave just like these functions, there are three reasons you should use
+ * these functions:
+ *
+ * 1) These functions make *explicit* the desire for and dependence upon
+ * wraparound semantics, just as Rust's i32::wrapping_add and similar
+ * functions explicitly produce wraparound in Rust.
+ * 2) They implement this functionality *safely*, without invoking signed
+ * integer overflow that has undefined behavior in C++.
+ * 3) They play nice with compiler-based integer-overflow sanitizers (see
+ * build/autoconf/sanitize.m4), that in appropriately configured builds
+ * verify at runtime that integral arithmetic doesn't overflow.
