+- Introduced ``__attribute__((wraps))`` which can be added to type or variable
+  declarations. Using an attributed type or variable in an arithmetic
+  expression will define the overflow behavior for that expression as having
+  two's complement wrap-around. These expressions will not be instrumented by
+  overflow sanitizers nor will they cause integer overflow warnings. They also
+  cannot be optimized away by some eager UB optimizations as the behavior of
+  the arithmetic is no longer "undefined".
+
+  There is also ``__attribute__((no_wraps))`` which can be added to types or
+  variable declarations. Types or variables with this attribute may be
+  instrumented by overflow sanitizers, if enabled. Note that this matches the
+  default behavior of integer types. So, in most cases, ``no_wraps`` serves

So this is essentially no opt?
I don't thing this will help, to me it will trigger readers to think what it's needed, unnecessary noise.
Regular comment will be as good enough?
