I have a good answer to this, and if you post a comment at
http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com/bi_library/safe-numerics  I'll respond.

I know I'm being a pain on insisting on this but my main interest
right now is testing out the comment feature on the incubator
to see it can be helpful for these types of discussions. 

Thanks to all who are willing to help me out on this.

PS - there's no reason why your bounded integer library couldn't be
loaded to the incubator.  The incubator encourages competition!!!
