For the past 2.5 years, I've worked on applications that use 
256-bit integers for most of the computation (because the inputs 
are 256-bit numbers typically used to represent fixed point 
decimals with 18 digits) for computation and it would have been 
nice to to have uint256/int256 built-in types, instead of having 
to use a library BigInt type.
