//! Subtraction of [`Number`]s: `-` and `-=`, with either operand owned or borrowed.
//!
//! `a - b` is `a + (-b)`, and it is computed as that sum, by the addition and with everything it
//! does: the paths in registers for operands of at most 16 and 64 bytes, the plan of the exact
//! length, and the kernels in inline assembly on `x86_64` (`sbb` and `adc` chains through the
//! carry flag) and on 64-bit little-endian `aarch64` (`sbcs` and `adcs`, in several interleaved
//! chains for long operands), portable Rust elsewhere. So a difference costs what a sum of the
//! same magnitudes does, and the operators keep the promises of `+` and `+=`: the difference is
//! exact, in the shortest form and in the byte order of the left operand, and it is built in
//! the vector of an operand taken by value, or of the target of `-=`, when that has room for it
//! (the left operand's first), and otherwise in one new vector of exactly its length. The
//! magnitudes are subtracted when the signs of `a` and `-b` differ, as for `5 - 3`, and added
//! when they agree, as for `5 - (-3)`.
//!
//! The sign of `b` is turned over without changing the code of the addition:
//!
//! - Operands of at most 64 bytes take the paths of the addition in registers, inlined up to 16
//!   bytes and out of line from there, with the sign of `b` turned over as it is read into a
//!   register.
//! - An owned `b` has its sign turned over in place, and is then added.
//! - `a -= &b` on longer operands cannot change `b`, so it turns over the sign of `a` instead:
//!   `a - b` is `-(-a + b)`. The sign of `a` is turned over, `b` is added, and the sign of the
//!   sum is turned back, unless the sum is zero, which stays not negative. Only the sign of `a`
//!   goes through memory on its way to the addition, and it decides only branches, which the
//!   core predicts; the vectors of both operands are read where they are. The addition hands
//!   `a` back, so that the shorter paths, which end in calls, save no registers for it.
//! - `&a - &b` on longer operands can change neither, so it adds to `a` a copy of the fields of
//!   `b` with the sign turned over, which shares the vector of `b` and is only read (see
//!   [`Negated`]). The addition reads the vector's address and length from that copy, a store
//!   and a load later than from `b` itself, which the allocation of the difference's vector
//!   hides; a long difference built in place, whose kernel starts before the plan is done, would
//!   wait for them.
