     OK.  So if a program sets an object to a value outside 
     TYPE_MIN_VALUE/TYPE_MAX_VALUE, then that program is
     invalid for the purposes of this discussion?

Correct.  Of course, it has to be the *program* that's doing the set
(meaning setting a user-defined variable).  If the compiler is messing
up (either front- or middle-end), then this discussion becomes quite
relevant.
