This task is to create a new Beman.BoundsTests library implementing Lisa Lippincott's Functions for Testing Boundary Conditions on Integer Operations paper.

This would be creating an implementation from scratch. Per Lisa, often doing the same arithmetic in a wider type or in an unsigned type will give you the information you need in a way that optimizers can see through.

Lisa has offered to provide more advice to anyone willing to take this on.

The name here (Beman.BoundsTests) is totally a placeholder. Suggestions are welcome.

I was looking at this one, but I don't really understand the paper. I'm happy to take a crack at it if someone can provide some guidance.
