Declaring types of identifiers is not enough, because it can't express the wish to ignore any fixnum overflow and assume that the result will fit in a fixnum.
Indeed, the current SRFI does not adequately distinguish between the following two cases:
(a) addition in which the operands are fixnums and the result is guaranteed to be a fixnum (or should be wrapped to a fixnum's range).
(b) addition in which the operands are fixnums and the result is not guaranteed to be a fixnum (and should not be wrapped to a fixnum's range).
