Of course my copy ISO C standart states that only intptr_t and uintptr_t
*need* to be lange enough to hold a pointer. The real problem is that most
C programmers don't know that. Which gets us back to the "C is alright -
just get better programmers". Only: realy good C programmers are just as
scares as Ada progammers.
