Would it be too far fetched to generalize this, and propose a fully
policy-based integer type, with individual policies to decide:

- the bit width
- if it is signed or unsigned
- whether overflow/underflow is UB, or wrap around, or saturate
- if it takes part in integer promotions or not
- if it implicitly converts towards any other integer types, or forbids
narrowing, or doesn't implicitly convert at all
- etc.
