I realize that. It's just that I mentally associate the identifier int8 with an
8-bit integer as it is something I regularly see in C++ code.
However, I'm willing to drop my position. After a quick Google, I discovered
that it's not as common as I thought. I'm happy to keep float4 etc. since it is
simple and is already used in a couple of shader languages.
I know you agree with me but I'm not done arguing :-)
Making an int8 type in D would be execrable style, as 'byte' is (unlike in C)
*defined* to be an 8 bit signed integer.
