I know that DMD doesn't support it, but it has been a pain in the ass to not have cent/ucent for me. Adding support in LDC shouldn't be too difficult, as one can emit an i128 and let LLVM do the work. Would that be possible ? There is a bunch of virtual hugs to be won doing so, and if you are in the bay area, definitively a beer or something :)

I ask because I have a similar issue with vector operations (https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1485).

This isn't forking the language, cent/ucent have been in the spec like forever. Having some competition is good. And TBH, I think this is also fine for the vector thing. We can't wait for DMD to reinvent the wheel for every backend feature.I know that DMD doesn't support it, but it has been a pain in the ass to not have cent/ucent for me.

If the codegen works, that's good enough for me.
