Research direction

Start with pydsdl/_data_type_builder.py at lines 184-186 and review the linked discussion from pull request 66. Trace how the expression evaluator currently forces numerical expansion and how the bit length set solver is represented. Done means the evaluator uses the bit length set solver at this point without numerical expansion; the payload names no test to run.
