Looking at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/src/core/natives.pm, I see these types: int int8 int16 int32 int64 uint uint8 byte uint16 uint32 uint64 num num32 num64 str

The Types TOC only lists one of them, the int

They are not 'real'type (as you can't use then with ~~) they are all more likes some weird constant

The entire list should be documented somewhere though

doc/Language/nativecall.pod has a list (apparently missing a few entries), though that also mentions longlong which is not mentioned in roast.

Oh, so just make it searchable and that's it.

Just noticed that we have https://docs.perl6.org/type/nativeInt. That's the only native type page. Should we remove it?

Index all listed native types
17a660d 
Currently tables don't support proper formatting, so we have to index
things separately. It's LTA but it does the job.

It seems that the table is not full. There's a separate issue
for it: #1511.

Hopefully resolves issue #372.

You can now type int32 in the search and it will bring you to the table with native types. Is the issue resolved or not? If not, what specifically has to be done?
