1. Predefine 2 pseudo-schema types to define signed and unsigned integral types:

IntegerWithBits (n) CardinalWIthBits (n)

where n is a compile-time constant expression.

BTW, native speakers, with formulation is better, "integer with/of N bits"?

By my intuition (native speakers vary), clearest would be "Integer of N Bits". Given that the parameter cannot appear in the middle of the predefined identifier, perhaps "IntegerOfBitsize(n)". Others, including (my second choice) "IntegerOfBits(n)" are to me less clear--it suggests that other integers are not made up of bits. Ålso, "of" is more consistent with Pascal use in declarations, "with" has different Pascal semantics. IMHO Willett Kempton
