+
+Of these types, i32 and i64 are the most heavily-tested because of their use by 
+Wasmtime. There are no known bugs in i8, i16, and i128, but their use may not 
+be supported by all instructions in all backends (that is, they may cause 
+the compiler to crash during code generation with an error that an instruction
+is unsupported). 
+
+The function `valid_for_target` within the [fuzzgen function generator][fungen] 
+contains information about which instructions support which types.
