PS. perhaps on newer 64 bit machines, explicitly selecting
32 bits can offer savings? I'd certainly expect selecting
64 bits on a 32 bit machine to lead to slowdowns.
Unlikely, I'd have thought. We implement all the explicitly sized integral
types by zero-extending or sign-extending to the size of an Int/Word.
That's why there are no primitive types or operations for Word8#, Word16#, etc.
