I dunno.  I'm of two minds here.  On the one hand, pegging at
particular values makes mathematic sense.  On the other, 
overflow is undefined (at least in C, C++, and Fortran), so
there's little point spending any energy on it.  You're 
increasing the code size in libgcc for no apparent gain.

Anyone else out there have an opinion?

Oh, right.  Let's go with yours for now, since it uses fewer
operations.
