There's no i8 but byte, which creates inconsistency ;)

Temat: Re: i32 vs int 

One of the things I love about Thrift is its simple IDL. No aliases
just simple self describing types (i8, i16, etc). We presently have
one keyword for each feature of the IDL. I think the Pandora's box
analogy is a good one. It is hard work keeping things simple.
