CUE defines the following predefined identifiers to restrict the bounds of integers to common values.
The u-prefixed identifiers provide similar capabilities to unsigned integer types in other languages.

uint:    >=0
uint8:   >=0 & <=255
int8:    >=-128 & <=127
uint16:  >=0 & <=65536
int16:   >=-32_768 & <=32_767
rune:    >=0 & <=0x10FFFF
uint32:  >=0 & <=4_294_967_296
int32:   >=-2_147_483_648 & <=2_147_483_647
uint64:  >=0 & <=18_446_744_073_709_551_615
int64:   >=-9_223_372_036_854_775_808 & <=9_223_372_036_854_775_807
int128:  >=-170_141_183_460_469_231_731_687_303_715_884_105_728 & <=170_141_183_460_469_231_731_687_303_715_884_105_727
uint128: >=0 & <=340_282_366_920_938_463_463_374_607_431_768_211_455
