+=== from_chars for integral types
+* All built-in integral types are allowed except bool which is deleted
+* These functions have been tested to support `__int128` and `unsigned __int128`
 * from_chars for integral types is constexpr when compiled using `-std=c++14` or newer
 ** One known exception is GCC 5 which does not support constexpr comparison of const char*.
