Interest in support for saturated casts?

Hi,

Support for unsigned integer arithmetic sounds quite useful, I also
have written some quirks to deal with unsigned data previously.
Looking foreward to fix this code :)

Would be great if those methods could be added as part of that work :)

Thanks, Clemens
