One more general point:
There are further issues around what we might call "extended types that
behave much like integer and floating-point types", especially for C++;
see my comment in PR 43622, and the references therein. How to fix these
(again, while avoiding hardcoding references to such types in
target-independent code) should also be considered separately.
