------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Ticket #2671 describes a scenario where accumulators causes an integral
 overflow. The simple solution there is to use doubles, but the larger
 issue is how to accommodate both fast, unchecked integral arithmetic and
 slower checked arithmetic. This is an open design issue, and it probably
 makes sense to come up with a uniform solution across all math-related
 libraries in Boost.
