We need to clarify if 'real' is the 'default floating point type' or not.

So int would mean 8 bit integers?
I'm joking but for some operation 8 bit int *are* 'fastest' than 32 bit int, because they use less cache, memory..

Anything else that intX, uintX is necessarily arbitrary (and even intX is not that simple: some DSP have 24bit integers..), so I'm not sure that it's quite useful to spend too much time on that topic.
