Crate arithmetic_nonmax 

NonMax provides integer types that cannot be the maximum value of their underlying primitive type.

Memory Optimization

The main benefit of NonMax<T> is that Option<NonMax<T>> has the same size as T. This is achieved through Rust’s “niche optimization”, where the bit pattern of the maximum value is used to represent None.

Primitive	size_of::<T>()	size_of::<Option<T>>()	size_of::<Option<NonMax<T>>>()
u32	4	8	4
i32	4	8	4
u8	1	2	1
