+Integers that overflow wrap around. ie in an i8 256 -> 0, 257 -> 1, etc.
+
+The standard library includes families of methods for primitive numeric types to handle wrapping:
+- `wrapping_*`: wrap in all modes
+- `checked_*`: return None if overflow
+- `overflowing_*`: return val + bool that indicates whether overflow occurred
+- `saturating_*`: saturate at the minimum or maximum values
