The "math" is a mapping from some type (in this case UHWI) to
some other type (int, used by our *_n APIs), so that it gives the
same plural forms for known translations.
Are you suggesting we change the type of the *_n APIs to UHWI
instead? What if the caller needs something different? E.g.
wide_int, widest_int, offset_int, __int128, whatever else?
