very simple example though, no idea what happens when that value comes via socket or file, guess that would panic! then.

That's actually just a lint that you can turn off with #[allow(const_err)], though obviously you shouldn't turn it off on a real project since it catches stupid mistakes like this.

And yep, the result is a panic, even with debug_assertions off (i.e. you make overflows wrap instead of panic).
