So I suppose you think C should have kept int at 16 bits since there was
lots of Win16 code that assumed sizeof(int)==2 because it happened to work
on their platform, or likewise sizeof(int)==sizeof(char*)?  Things
unspecified in the spec mean "unspecified" -- it doesn't mean "rely on
whatever behavior the implementation you use exhibits and expect it to be
portable".
