I agree with Walter on this one. cent and ucent are merely keywords in
preparation for if/when we decide to add 128-bit integer types to the language.
Keywords are plenty for that. I see no reason to expect any code written with
them to work on any level or why anyone would think that writing code now with
cent or ucent with the idea that it will work later makes sense. AFAIK, it's
never been promised that cent and ucent would _ever_ be added as types. It's
just that the keywords have been reserved in order to future proof the
language.
