Whoops, I see now that I must have been half asleep when I read your
message.  Sorry about that.

Can't we think of some more mnemonic convention, or at least one that
forces people to figure out which is which?  Like wfx+ and rfx+
("wrapping fx+", "(overflow-)raising fx+"?  (I'm quite afraid of fx+
becoming a common-place operation in everyday programs, in the name of
speeding up things.)
