[u]in128_t, [u]int_least128_t, [u]int_fast128_t. They're not guaranteed
to be supported, but those names are reserved for that use, and you can
check whether or not the corresponding macros in <stdint.h> are
#defined; they are not allowed to be #defined unless the corresponding
types are supported.
