In Zig, integer type names are not considered keywords, e.g you 
can use i7 as a variable name or i666 as a function name.

But you cannot define new types with this pattern, you get an 
error message stating that "Type 'i?' is shadowing primitive type 
'i?'".

So it's more like a contextual keyword in C#.
