Currently and by default, numbers in Granite are interpreted as i64s. It may be beneficial for the user at runtime to switch to other number values (e.g. i128, u128, u64).

The idea I have in mind right now is to add an operation that allows to set environment variables, maybe :](variable),(value) and the variable could be INTEGER_WIDTH or something.
