At first glance it seems to be similar to boost::safe_numerics. Are there significant differences?

Both libraries do the same thing. Boost lets you set your exception policy and I'm unsure if this Bounded Integer library gives the same level of control.
The bounded::integer types accept three template parameters: `integer<min, max, overflow_policy>`. That final parameter can be bounded::throw_policy, which is itself templated on the exception type thrown. The default exception policy is "overflow is undefined behavior". The other two policies supported out of the box are wrapping / modulo and saturation / clamping.
