Research direction
The Sway documentation should be updated to include information about using suffixes like `u64`, `u32`, `u16`, and `u8` to type integer literals. Look for the section on literal syntax in the Sway book (https://fuellabs.github.io/sway/latest/) and add a brief explanation with examples. No linked PRs or comments; this is a straightforward documentation addition.
