On second thought, having tried it, one reason is that that breaks
things that are considered legitimate for historical reasons. For
example, AttrNumber is often used with READ_INT_FIELD(), which is an
int16. Whether or not it's worth fixing that by introducing a
READ_ATTRNUM_FIELD() (and so on) is not obvious to me.
