-We disabled the simprocs for USize since the result of most operations depend on an opaque value: `System.Platform.numBits`.
-We could reduce some cases using the fact that this opaque value is `32` or `64`, but it is unclear whether it would be useful in practice.
+We do not use the normal simprocs for `USize` since the result of most operations depend on an opaque value: `System.Platform.numBits`.
+However, we do reduce natural literals using the fact this opaque value is at least `32`.
