Must admit I first thought of: "2, 4, 8, who do we appreciate!"


MORE SERIOUSLY:

Would a possibly future expansion be to include numeric?

Of hand, I can't see any value for using other than integers of 2, 4, & 
8 bytes (not a criticism! - may simply be a failure of imagination on my 
part).

I am curious as to the use cases for other possibilities.
