You say not an error as meaning the language definition does not
guarantee checking for overflows/underflows and throwing an
exception if one occurs.
But my point is even more simple: is there a stance on what the
overflow/underflow semantics are? E.g., are they undefined (might
wrap, might saturate, might have one's complement behavior, etc),
defined only for unsigned integers (like C and C++), etc?
