Review comment:
       I would think that using the *checked* versions for language bindings is 
more desirable as you want errors to be triggered ASAP. The *unchecked* 
versions should be used knowing the wrap around behavior may occur. I think of 
it as *unchecked = safe math* and *checked = true math*.
