+The carry-save adder is interesting because it allows you to add $n > 2$
+numbers together in a very parallel way, where the carries are then
+reconciled in the end using a standard carry-propagate adder ([\#5b1a]).
+This is done by having an array of full-adders which don't feed the
+carry into the next full-adder, but instead save the carry for the end.
