At some point, it’s going to be easier to make those types 
`__traits(signed, 128)`, `__traits(unsigned, 256)`, 
`__traits(signed, 512)` and so on, plus some `alias ducent = 
__traits(signed, 256)` in object.d instead of arguing where the 
right limit is.

I’m not entirely sure if I’m being serious here, but on the other 
hand, I know of no other language that reserved a type keyword 
and doesn’t use it although it easily could.
