What I find annoying is we go back and forth over this because the insistence on clinging to the one true holy int type as on Gods Blessed Machine the PDP 11. Instead of implementing proper variable types like you have with Ada.
Seriously considering code can compiled for on 16, 32, and 64 bit machines 'int' is dodgy as hell.
