Generally, programmers should use these types rather than the explicitly
sized types to maximize portability.
Finally, for the purpose of explaining the rules of expressions (§Expressions),
there are three ideal numeric types:
'ideal int' the set of all ideal ints
'ideal float' the set of all ideal floats
'ideal number' the union of ideal_int and ideal_float
The type of an integer or character literal is "ideal_int"
and the type of a floating point literal is "ideal_float".

The type of an expression may be an ideal number. The type of such expressions
is implicitly converted into the 'expected type' required for the expression.
The conversion is legal if the (ideal) expression value is a member of the
set represented by the expected type. Otherwise the expression is erroneous.
For instance, if the expected type is int32, any ideal_int or ideal_float
value which fits into an int32 without loss of precision can be legally converted.
For instance, if the expected type is int32, any ideal number

Along the same lines, a negative ideal integer cannot be converted into a uint
without loss of the sign; such a conversion is illegal.
