FT> How do you test for integer overflow?
there is *no* magic way for that. you have to do it by hand. like, if you do 
unsigned a+b and the result is smaller than either, beep. but for larger 
formulas it's much more complex, and it might become a pain. Make a class of 
numbers that checks everything and throws exceptions, or such.
