-128'i8 gives: Error: number out of range: '128'i8'

Likewise with T.low for all signed T

Example

let a1 = (-128).int8
let a2 = -127'i8
let a3 = -128'i8 # Error: number out of range: '128'i8'

Current Output

Error: number out of range: '128'i8'

Expected Output

works

Possible Solution

• implement literals-as-strings, see D20200425T180920 RFC: represent all litterals as string #127 + link to forum discussion

Additional Information

• never worked as of 31ba275
