my 2c: describe it as "an approximate, high-dynamic-range unsigned integer".
That doesn't lend itself to something easy to type, but "ApproxHDRUint"
might be doable. Plus, it sounds sort of scary.
Having something in the name that suggests that it is an integer should
ward off any attempt to use it for numerics.
