u256 are common used in solidity. Lack of u256 cause many problems when bridging asset or protocol into Move contracts.
And since Move doesn't float types, we need a large integer type to simulate float calculation for u128.
Pitch
A builtin support for u256 is what I'm expecting for.
alternative is using native structs, but it's tedious.

🚀 Feature Request
Support u256 primitive type. May also consider u16, u32, and signed integer type like i8, i16, i32 , i64, i128, i256.
A similar discussion exists in diem repo https://github.com/diem/diem/issues/8504
