Wow, I never put pure nothrow around my constructors. Maybe I should.

The wrapping behaviour is interesting. All this could be ported into a
policy. It's a bit liki clipping a texture, what kind of possibility
do we have?

- throwing an exception
- asserting
- wrapping around
- clipping (if > max, then max. if < min, then min)
- taking a default value, maybe an OutOfBound state.

I'm also interested by your IntAdapter (aka int + infinity), I did
something similar once, to allow for slicing on infinite ranges.
