Thanks for the chuckle; visions of Nomad immediately came to mind.

Saturating Arithmetic

Well, for example, the integral accumulators used in PID closed loop control algorithms are commonly treated this way (saturated). The use of the saturating instructions produces far more efficient execution in those cases. That can be important when you are running the PID in a ISR at 25 kHZ or faster...
