Both gcc and clang do recognize `__int128_t` and `__uint128_t`,
but I wouldn't recommend relying on an undocumented feature.

Both gcc and clang recognized __[u]int128_t in earlier versions
than they did __int128.  The __[u]int128_t types are also
recognized by the Intel compiler.

__int128 is treated as a keyword.

That's another reason to prefer __[u]int128_t types.
