Anything specific?  I{8,16,32} and W{8,16,32} should be fairly easy to get
working -- a quickly looking at x86-mlton.fun shows that most of the
arithmetic/logic functions infer the size from the operands.  Obviously,
I64 takes a bit more work.

I like that.

I don't follow.  Why is Word64 any more difficult than Int64?
