Actually I'd like to see all type names treated as built-in library
types instead of treating them as part of the core language.

Advantages:
  - Simpler parser, simpler language specification.
  - If you really need to, you can interface with external libraries
that use e.g. 'int' as an identifier.

Major disadvantage:
  - You can use 'int' as an identifier.
