Research direction
Start by reading how the existing --translate-enum-integer-types option is defined and handled in rust-bindgen. Trace the path used for translating non-enum integer types, then determine the intended native Rust type mappings and option behavior. Done means an equivalent, documented feature exists for non-enum integers with coverage for its expected cases.
