oh boy, sorry I missed that in the initial code review, thanks Arnd
for the sharp eye!

Side tangent: we see this kind of difference in APIs a lot (modifying
the parameter vs returning a new value or making a copy then modifying
that) in C++ when a call site isn't passing the explicit address of
some variable or an identifier that's clearly a pointer. Ex.
int foo;
bar(foo);
Doesn't tell you whether bar mutates foo or not without looking at the
definition of bar, as it could be:
void bar(int x);
or
void bar(int& x);
I miss the convention in Ruby of using `!` suffixes on methods to
differentiate between such cases. ex:
"hello".capitalize
vs
"hello".capitalize!
both return the same value, but the one with the ! mutates the
existing object, while the one without creates a new object. And
that's a very standard convention throughout the standard library.
Whether or not people follow that convention is always another story.
One thing I'm curious about, is "why does do_div exist?" When should I
use do_div vs div_u64 (not div_s64 as is used in this patch)?
