In a range definition, if the number after the second semicolon is 0,
then the number after the first semicolon is the number of bits needed
to represent the type.
In a range definition, if the first number after the semicolon is
positive and the second is zero, then the type being defined is a
floating point type, and the number after the first semicolon is the
number of bytes needed to represent the type. Note that this does not
provide a way to distinguish 8-byte real floating point types from
8-byte complex floating point types.
