But what about when you have multiple integer types that have the same
range? Certainly you can't treat all of them as the same because they
have different alias sets and it's ciritical for efficient code generation
that this be the case.
Or would you consider these different types?
These are different types. For instance, "int" and "long" are distinct
types in C++, even if both map onto 32-bit integers.
