SubjectuNNw: wrapping integer annotations

Let's discuss the most important part -- naming :^)

In my opinion, signed universe should _not_ get anything before specific
examples are presented where the value is in fact can be negative and
can overflow.

As for size_t/uintptr_t/..., they can be added as usize_w Rust-style
or left until someone presents a usecase
