An alternative is to change the semantics of arithmetic operations such
that if the operands are xs:int the operation is done using 32-bit
arithmetic, and that casts to xs:int just gets the lower 32 bits without
error checking. Then for example:
define function f ($x as xs:int, $y as xs:integer) as xs:int {
$x + $y + 1
}
In this case both additions can be done using 32-bit arithmetic.
