I agree the current behavior is confusing. Regardless of the details of what to do, I suppose my main objection is that, to me, it's really unexpected that adding a number to an array could result in an exception.
I realized when I thought about it, that I did not have a clear idea of your exact use case. How does the user specify the thing to add, and why do you need to avoid an error in the case that adding would overflow the type? Would you mind giving an idiot-level explanation? Best, Matthew
