----------------
Personally, I think once we've defined the behavior on overflow, we shouldn't assert that overflow doesn't happen - this undermines the concept of having defined behavior on overflow (& makes it somewhat harder to test - since that behavior can now only be tested in a non-asserts build (well, I guess since assert isn't UB-if-false, and the assert is after the warning, that's not the case, but it's a bit subtle)).

Also, might it make more sense to do the warning/etc on the final use/printing out of the statistic instead? (I guess that's difficult because some statistics are derived from others? - so catching it the moment it overflows means it'll always be diagnosed only once, rather than multiple times due to multiple uses?)
