Let me note - it would be at least 32-bit int, since in 32bit float

Surely the answer is just to use 16-bit ints for everything, then...?
Thanks for going into this in such detail Robin.
I never realised
fp stuff could be *quite* so, umm, approximate!
Depending on context and the maths, the difference may not matter at
all, or may be off completely..
