It could be done by adding overflow-checked arithmetic operators. A lint could then be added to warn about uses of the unchecked operators. The lint would be opt-in, so you could flip it on at the crate level and then disable it for audited functions. It would be backwards compatible (post 1.0 feature) and wouldn't change the meaning of any existing code by introducing dialects via compiler switches.
