/**
 * @class CheckedInt
 * @brief Integer wrapper class checking for integer overflow and other errors
 * @param T the integer type to wrap. Can be any type among the following:
 *            - any basic integer type such as |int|
 *            - any stdint type such as |int8_t|
 *
 * This class implements guarded integer arithmetic. Do a computation, check
 * that isValid() returns true, you then have a guarantee that no problem, such
 * as integer overflow, happened during this computation, and you can call
 * value() to get the plain integer value.
 *
 * The arithmetic operators in this class are guaranteed not to raise a signal
 * (e.g. in case of a division by zero).
 *
 * For example, suppose that you want to implement a function that computes
 * (aX+aY)/aZ, that doesn't crash if aZ==0, and that reports on error (divide by
 * zero or integer overflow). You could code it as follows:
   @code
   bool computeXPlusYOverZ(int aX, int aY, int aZ, int* aResult)
   {
     CheckedInt<int> checkedResult = (CheckedInt<int>(aX) + aY) / aZ;
     if (checkedResult.isValid()) {
       *aResult = checkedResult.value();
       return true;
     } else {
       return false;
     }
   }
   @endcode
 *
 * Implicit conversion from plain integers to checked integers is allowed. The
 * plain integer is checked to be in range before being casted to the
 * destination type. This means that the following lines all compile, and the
 * resulting CheckedInts are correctly detected as valid or invalid:
 * @code
   // 1 is of type int, is found to be in range for uint8_t, x is valid
   CheckedInt<uint8_t> x(1);
   // -1 is of type int, is found not to be in range for uint8_t, x is invalid
   CheckedInt<uint8_t> x(-1);
   // -1 is of type int, is found to be in range for int8_t, x is valid
   CheckedInt<int8_t> x(-1);
   // 1000 is of type int16_t, is found not to be in range for int8_t,
   // x is invalid
   CheckedInt<int8_t> x(int16_t(1000));
   // 3123456789 is of type uint32_t, is found not to be in range for int32_t,
   // x is invalid
   CheckedInt<int32_t> x(uint32_t(3123456789));
 * @endcode
 * Implicit conversion from
 * checked integers to plain integers is not allowed. As shown in the
 * above example, to get the value of a checked integer as a normal integer,
 * call value().
 *
 * Arithmetic operations between checked and plain integers is allowed; the
 * result type is the type of the checked integer.
 *
 * Checked integers of different types cannot be used in the same arithmetic
 * expression.
 *
 * There are convenience typedefs for all stdint types, of the following form
 * (these are just 2 examples):
   @code
   typedef CheckedInt<int32_t> CheckedInt32;
   typedef CheckedInt<uint16_t> CheckedUint16;
   @endcode
