Nitpick Math Operator Family

Nitpick provides standard C-like math operators with strict enforcement of overflow and division-by-zero behaviors.

1. Basic Arithmetic

• + : Addition
• - : Subtraction
• * : Multiplication. (Note: also serves as the C-style pointer type syntax int8* inside extern blocks).
• / : Division. Nitpick prevents divide-by-zero crashes by degrading the result to the unknown sentinel state instead of a hardware trap.
• % : Modulo

2. Increment / Decrement

• ++ : Increment.
• -- : Decrement. (Note: These are evaluated as statements, not expressions. You cannot assign the result of x++ directly to another variable).

3. Compound Assignment

Standard compound assignment is fully supported: * += * -= * *= * /= * %=
