Detailed Description

template<class Int, class Tag>
class ripple::tagged_integer< Int, Tag >

A type-safe wrap around standard integral types.

The tag is used to implement type safety, catching mismatched types at compile time. Multiple instantiations wrapping the same underlying integral type are distinct types (distinguished by tag) and will not interoperate. A tagged_integer supports all the usual assignment, arithmetic, comparison and shifting operations defined for the underlying type

The tag is not meant as a unit, which would require restricting the set of allowed arithmetic operations.
