Review Comment:
   Is this really the way the function should work?
   
   it is doing the equivalent of casting both `a` and `b` to `int` first, and 
then adding result to another `int`. That's just how java promotion works.
   
   But is this what we want? What about overflow? why `int` and not `long`? 
   
   This is not at all what `ByteVector.mul()` does.
