Some of the comments here are getting a little duplicate-y -- don't worry, I do a little consolidation in the next patch after this.

Implement mozilla::WrappingSubtract

This code works for me.

Surely subtracting two unsigned integers doesn't produce a signed integer?  (I mean, it *does*, mathematically, but in fixed-width arithmetic with unsigned types I don't think that's exactly what you mean...)  At the very least, this example is in contravention of the statement immediately after it.
