In audio it's common to use signed integer samples, which in FixedPointNumbers parlance becomes Fixed{Int16, 15} for 16-bit samples, or Fixed{Int8, 7} for 8-bit.
For my use cases, aliases like Fixed8, Fixed16 with the above definitions would be useful, but I see there's already a definition for Fixed16 to Fixed{Int32, 16}, and a deprecated Fixed32 that aliases to the current Fixed16 definition.
Would these definitions also work for the use-cases currently using the Fixed16 definition, or do they need the extra storage space for values outside [-1, 1)?
