Unfortunately. :-(

Are there any languages other than the Wirth-inspired ones which do
have them as part of the core language ?

BTW, given what the Rust people claim about Rust's target markets,
I consider that to be a surprising omission from Rust, given that they
had all these languages to look at when they were designing Rust.

Such types are used to help model the underlying problem more accurately,
which is exactly the kind of thing the Rust people (and any other such
language designers) should have latched onto.
