Unfortunately, I would like to avoid any refactoring in this diff.

I would like to keep these functions simple so at some point we might make them straightforward wrappers over `__builtin_add_overflow` etc, reason why I would like to keep this signature. Promotions can be handled on the callee's side. For my use case, I always want to explicitly specify the template parameter type.

Regarding struct returns, that sounds like a use case for a class such as CheckedInt/SafeInt etc, which doesn't seem to be required yet. A future implementation might use these methods though.

If the sizes match, doesn't static cast simply move the number bit by bit to the result? I have adjusted the comment.
