+   (`wrapping_byte_offset`, `wrapping_add`) are compiler intrinsics with no GOTO body
+   to inline. The inliner recognizes these by name and lowers them directly to CBMC
+   `Plus` expressions on pointers. Non-wrapping variants (`offset`, `add`) are not
+   supported because they trigger CBMC bounds checks inside quantifier bodies. Example:
+   ```rust
+   kani::forall!(|i in (0, len)| unsafe { *ptr.wrapping_byte_offset(i as isize) == 0 })

 ### Typed quantifier variables
 
 The `forall!` and `exists!` macros support an optional type annotation:
