Description

For oscat-compatibility reasons we should be able to use ANY_NUM/INT functions with ANY_BIT type Convert to smallest possible type from function signature Maybe we should display a warning when used so, to let the user know that a type conversion will happen

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how ANY NUM and ANY BIT types are defined in the Rusty codebase, then modify the type checking logic to allow the operations and optionally add a warning.
