The way I have it set, no, because there comes a point where adding one

overflow the value.


If you leave it as ADD, and it overflows someday, wouldn't you want to
know about that?

Overflow exceptions are a Good Thing.  They're like the pain you get
when you put your hand in the fire; the pain may be bad, but the burnt
hand is worse.
