An _integer literal_ has one of four forms:

without any spaces) by an _integer suffix_, which forcibly sets the
type of the literal. The integer suffix must be the name of one of the
integral types: `u8`, `i8`, `u16`, `i16`, `u32`, `i32`, `u64`, `i64`,
`u128`, `i128`, `usize`, or `isize`.
`u128`, `i128`, `f32`,`f64`, `usize`, or `isize`.

Note the suffix of `f32` and `f64` ensures that the literal has a floating point type.
Even when it would otherwise be lexed as an integer.

The type of an _unsuffixed_ integer literal is determined by type inference:
