+ *  Calculate the sum of a given range of integer numbers.
+ *
+ *  This particular method of implementation works by way of brute force,
+ *  i.e. it iterates over the entire range while adding the numbers to finally
+ *  get the total sum. As a positive side effect, we're able to easily detect
+ *  overflows, i.e. situations in which the sum would exceed the capacity
+ *  of an integer variable.
