There are no short integer literals#2508
Conversation
I replaced literals for _short_ integer types with literals for _medium_ integer types because there are no such literals (`0S` is not a valid short integer).

Swap medium for long long, and add binary as an option.

Thanks for the update. I don't know where the short part came from, unless by some analogy with float. I swapped "long long" in for "medium" since I'd rather not explain what the word "medium" means when it isn't used anywhere else.
I think it goes back to the time of 16–bit CPUs. |
