Or eliminate it because it is redundant.
I will report soon.

It's redundant and not needed, as addition of +1
should be done in std::numeric_limits anyway.

Thanks again, John.
I got the tests running. What a nice test suite!
I need to run the tests myself and know if the tests are OK
before suggesting any changes.

Is there a collected summary of the output files?

Is this target report at the end of the test run of concern?
...failed updating 7 targets...
...skipped 21 targets...
...updated 574 targets...

Best regards, Chris.
