You cannot overload operators of integral types in C++, if you mean you can overload `int operator+(int, int)` to be saturating. You can create `saturating_int` kind of types easily though.

Despite its C underpinnings, C++ does provide the tooling for Type Driven Development like ML languages, I think it is a hard sell on the performance driven culture to have little types for those purposes, which is why it isn't used as much as it should.
