Depends on the codebase. Go read the source code for GHC and tell me how quickly you could add a new primitive type that consists of all twos-complement 7-bit numbers.
A pretty trivial change for someone whose steeped in the codebase, likely impossible without a few weeks (or even months) of effort for anyone else. Of course, this all becomes exponentially easier if you have an author of the code to point you in the right direction.
