No, because a great deal of the compiler internals would have to be redone for 
it. The compiler will also slow down as a result. (The internals all depend on 
integral types being able to accommodate the largest integral type.)

I didn't kill the library solution. 'mul' being specially recognized by the 
compiler does not change its utility.
