I've heard that Rust wraps around by default?

Rust has two possible behaviours: panic or wrap. By default debug builds with panic, release builds with wrap. Both behaviours are 100% defined, so the compiler can't do any shenanigans.

There are also helper functions and types for unchecked/checked/wrapping/saturating arithmetic.
