Agreed.

I would also prefer the use of int8/uint8/int16/uint16 etc. as the basic
compiler types, but those will indeed need some compiler work, which is why
I didn't propose it.

If they appear, at that point we can define Small/Short/LongInt simply as aliases.
It would be much more clear.

Michael.
