Yes, if you need ucent/cent you more likely only need the type
but only a small subset of the operations allowed on integral
types. For example for a wide bitfield, only `&` `|` `^` `<<`
`>>` `~` `=`.
The subset required is hypothetically always small enough and
people just write their own struct, alias this and a few opover.
