MAX for fixed-function hardware
I wonder if this could also include things like BPF as a target? Might be good to consider separately, but I see some overlap

iNative or something? Sounds like isize with extra confusion

Would you be interested in BigInt support?
I think I agree on that one actually--I'm of the mind people should be explicitly choosing their concrete types, including with explicitly sized scalars

Even using tagged enums, you need affordances for the various container sizes and would stop being about to pass around bare ints in GP registers quite as easily
