All integer types can have use cases imo so there is no reason to
impose an articifial limitation [1] except for sanity-checking (floats
does not make sense here), ie:
Int8Array, UInt8Array, Int16Array, UInt16Array, Int32Array, UInt32Array

Regards,

[1] : artificial because typed arrays can be 'casted' anyways.
