There's also the issue that undefined behaviour tends to become exploitable as part of a security hole.

So I'm seconding Alekx-Daniel on this.

makes the language look fragile).

Let's resolve the issue by adding an error message and not by closing our eyes
on this.

FWIW, I rescind all of my previous comments on the matter and now
think no special casing should be done to error out on ³² or anything
like that.

The only people I see complaining about it are those who just type it
up randomly to see what it'd do; i.e. not an issue in real programs. I
see no sufficient argument to add special casing in code,
documentation, and tests, without solving any real problems.
