It isn't really any added language complexity from design or user 
perspective, because all it's rules are reused from 
`byte`/`short`/`int`/`long`. We need all the language rules for 
built-in integers, `cent` or no `cent`, so we might as well have 
it.

It probably does make sense to _internally_ implement it in 
DRuntime so that the user can swap or leave out its 
implementation without using a custom compiler, but having a 
language keyword to actually use that implementation is only 
consistent with how other integer types are used, especially as 
we already have a keyword pair reserved for that.
