I suggest a documentation section on NumericTypes. "Int8.bytes" and need documenting.

Nice table!

The names are listed in the order used in "numerictypes.py". The "*" cases are exceptions treated there. Are the "?" conversions correct? See

"genericPromotionExclusions" in "numerictypes.py".

Thanks for the excellent feedback!
