I am not a believer. Compile time/run time integral overflows to be "good enough" need to be built-in, more than associative arrays. How do you implement the compile-time ones? Run-time integral overflows need to be tested everywhere you don't explicitly ask for them to not happen, otherwise you will not catch most bugs. Bye, bearophile
