By default Rakus integers are arbitrary sized, theoretically of infinite length. You can't really take the twos complement of an infinitely long number; so, we need to specifically use fixed size integers.
 
There is a module available from the Raku ecosystem that provides fixed size integer support, named (appropriately enough.) [https://raku.land/githubzef:thundergnat/FixedInt FixedInt].
 
FixedInt supports fixed bit size integers, not only 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit or 64 bit, but ''ANY'' integer size. 22 bit, 35 bit, 191 bit, whatever.
