You can advocate all you like, but in the end, someone has to do the
work to implement it.  That should be fairly straightforward, so maybe
you would like to work on it?  All you have to do is find all the
places in Octave where there is another int type (say {u,}int16), and
add corresponding functions or directives for the new {u,}int24 types
that do the right thing.
