Why are those suffixes listed as valid under the program 'usage' and manpage, when they are automatically disallowed?
They are valid if your computer has wide-enough integers. As far as I know no platform supports Y and only one or two supports Z, but the documentation is future-proofing.
Conversely, if you're running on a really small computer that doesn't even support 64-bit integers, even 'T' is too wide.
I doubt whether it's worth complicating the manual for this minor detail, as the current diagnostic "'Y" too large" is accurate as far as it goes.
