> `NonZeroU32::saturating_add(self, other: u32)` is able to return `NonZeroU32` though!

I was confused at first how that could work, but then I realized that of course, with _unsigned_ integers this works fine because you cannot add a negative number...

You'd still have to check for overflow, I imagine.

And there are other gotchas, for instance it seems natural to assume that NonZeroF32 * NonZeroF32 can return a NonZeroF32, but 1e-25 * 1e-25 = 0 because of underflow.
