  48              Check for overflow by comparing dt/2 to (time1/2 - time0/2).
  49              Overflow occurred if they differ by more than a small slop.

  53              In the following code the "h" prefix means half.  By range
  54              analysis, we have:
  55
  56                   -0.5 <= ht1 - 0.5*time1 <= 0.5
  57                   -0.5 <= ht0 - 0.5*time0 <= 0.5
  58                   -1.0 <= dht - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 1.0
  59
  60              If overflow has not occurred, we also have:
  61
  62                   -0.5 <= hdt - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 0
  63                   -1.0 <= dht - hdt <= 1.5
  64
  65              and since dht - hdt is an integer, we also have:
  66
  67                   -1 <= dht - hdt <= 1
  68
  69              or equivalently:
  70
  71                   0 <= dht - hdt + 1 <= 2
  72
  73              In the above analysis, all the operators have their exact
  74              mathematical semantics, not C semantics.  However, dht - hdt +
  75              1 is unsigned in C, so it need not be compared to zero.  */

  86                  The following expression contains a second rounding,
  87                  so the result may not be the closest to the true answer.
  88                  This problem occurs only with very large differences.
  89                  It's too painful to fix this portably.  */
