Would be possible but definitely not what I had in mind.

What typelib does so far is ensure that all numeric types have a
normalized name, but still provide the relevant aliases.

There's no gain for typelib, there is a huge gain for the user as one
will not have two different fundamental types named the same in two
separate registries.
