I agree. GNAT has gone a little ways in this direction, providing 64-bit
integers on 32-bit machines. If I ever get around to defining NINA, it
will accept any range for integer types. Of course, if you make them too
big, objects of the type may raise Memory_Exhausted. There would be ways
to create integer types that correspond to those supported by the HW,
where that's important. And there'd be type Unbounded_Integer, providing
use of the unbounded-integer library used by the compiler.
