It's true that standard C has a zillion names for an integer, and then a typical 
project will layer on a mass of its own (even dmd does this). The grief comes 
because pretty much no C project ever uses them consistently and correctly, 
implicit narrowing conversions hide the bugs, and of course they get messed up 
with printf formats.
