Well, this silenced Visual Studio, but now another compiler on another
machine is complaining:

<http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewBuildError.php?type=1&buildid=514717>

"warning #2061-D: integer operation result is out of range"

I think perhaps it would be better to change this code instead of being
'cleaver'.  Perhaps instead we could use a struct that contains a bool
and a pointer.  The bool could indicate this special ALL_POINTS state.
