I was suggesting something like the following in `types.h`
```
// int128 / uint128 support
#if defined(__SIZEOF_INT128__)
#define LIBC_TYPES_HAS_INT128
using uint128_t = __uint128_t;
using int128_t = __int128_t;
#endif // defined(__SIZEOF_INT128__)
```

So we could provide both signed and unsigned. The aim is to use them as the other types (i.e., `uint64_t`) whenever they are available.

And yes it would be only for internal usage.
