Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
cannot use all of uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, sint8, sint16, sint32, sint64 explicitly.

JUSTIFICATION :
it is annoying not to be able to use uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, sint8, sint16, sint32, sint64 explicitly.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
use all of uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, sint8, sint16, sint32, sint64 explicitly.
ACTUAL -
Have int, long, char, byte ..
Where's the unsigned?

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Can use bitwise ops on ints for "unsigned" ..
