Add sized primitive literal syntax
This MR is an implementation of the sized primitive literals proposal https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0451-sized-literals.rst. It was based on and supersedes !8307 (closed).
I have moved the test SizedLiterals
to extendedliterals03
, it no longer needs to rely on optimizations and -fprefer-byte-code
. I have also extended it with testcases found during review of 8307.
I will submit the new extension to Cabal once approved, per Note [Adding a language extension]
.
