<<    1) You already have *some* predefined types which pretty much get
    used the same way that predefined types in other languages are
    used. I need to get some relatively simple job done with no great
    concern for portability, etc., so I declare something to be of
    standard type Float or Integer. So what's wrong with a predefined
    Modular type or two which correspond in size to the predefined
    Integer types?

What is wrong with the predefined modular types that are in the language
now (see Interfaces). I assume it is clear why you would just as soon
not have these types in Standard!
