Sorry, I didn't intend to bash anything. I only wanted to show that
C lacks distinct types for integers (with no default conversion among
them) and that ugly (but practical) hacks are used to imitate them.
The Windows SDK was just an example. (If I wanted to bash it, I'd write
about things like CreateProcess(), which should be more convincing. <g>)
