The problem with this family of bugs is not how fast or easy they are to fix, it is how hard they are to find and how unexpected they are.

Coming from C two of them were expected for me (products of Int8) and aliasing of arrays on sum! But I suppose that's debatable

You can find them by running Julia with `julia --check-bounds=yes`. That seems quick?
