> We recently [discussed] the possibility of introducing saturating arithmetic for deadline computation. Consider this PR as a starting point. Once we agree on the implementation, I'll file a CSR.
>
> I created a method in `Instant` to add `Duration`. One could argue that the proper way would be to go all the way and create a method in `Temporal` to add `TemporalAmount`. Or maybe even expand the functionality, and create an additional method in `Temporal` to subtract `TemporalAmount`.
>
> My current thinking is that if we were to do that, there would be a lot of expensive, unused code. Saturating logic seems to be only useful for `Instant` and `Duration`.
>
> Even if we decide to extend `Temporal` to add/subtract `TemporalAmount`, it could always be done later. From the perspective of `Instant`, `plus(TemporalAmount)` will be just an overload of `plus(Duration)`.
