A fun read!

"(Late at night, I double checked. Mozilla’s CheckedInt is just 
as bad as I remembered. They do a division to test for 
multiplication overflow. Come on, put a line of assembler in 
there! Portability is worth a price, just not any price.)"

Shocked: do you use assembly in Checked and cripple the 
optimizer?!?!
Luckily, no. But LDC and GDC do create the `seto` instruction I 
think you were hinting at:

(LDC doesn't do as good as it could,
