Description

Defines large fixed-width signed and unsigned integer types for Haskell. Fixed-width numbers are useful when the exact bit size is part of a file format, protocol, cryptographic primitive, or low-level algorithm.

It is useful for binary parsing, serialization, emulation, numeric code, and interoperability with systems that require specific integer widths. Developers should handle overflow, byte order, and sign behavior deliberately.
