Hmm. Yeah, definitely worth improving. Quick googling shows that you are
the first to notice! :-p

I was thinking of trying gcc's __builtin_add_overflowp(x, 0, T) or
something like that.

But I also wonder if we can use signed T *var vs unsigned T *var in any
way to generalise the number of positive bits in a type.
