It "ignores" it exactly the same way as the following declaration
   std::uint_fast8_t n = 2;
might "ignore" the 8 in the type name and allow you to increment the variable well past 255. Come to think of it, the underlying reasons for why it can be so are very similar.
It is perfectly explained in the spec. And it's been thoroughly explained here. What's the difficulty?
