Comptime int type choosing

Help
1

I think there must be an easier way. If a comptime int is available and I want to make a type that (only just) contains that, something like this seems a little inelegant(?)

   const z: u32 = 130; // example; normally provided from outside
   const T = switch(z) {
      inline 0...15 => u4,
      inline 16...32 => u5,
      // ...
      inline 128...255 => u8,
      // ...
      else => u32,
   };
   const y: T; // will be a u8 in this case

There is std.math.IntFittingRange.
