If you have "widespread" arithmetics which may overflow,
something like https://dlang.org/phobos/core_checkedint.html is
useful, yes, but in this case it's overkill.
To make use of this, one needs to already anticipate an

How did you make it correct?
Write 2 different versions for `signed` and `unsigned` types?
Or could you utilize `core.checkedint` somehow for checking
overflow?
```d
double value(T)(T index, double * x) {
bool overflow;

It pretends to be safe. Consider this:

I wouldn't blame bachmeier, because many reduced testcases

There are two things things that cause the problem. One is the
use of a template and the other is passing an unsigned type.
The reason the first parameter uses a template is because there
are a lot of types I could send as the first

Memory safety issues are a worse class of bug than arithmetic
bugs. The latter are reproducible if you feed them the same
