@hikari long was a mistake, which later necessitated the creation of long long

@rcombs well, short was definitely also a mistake, then

@hikari nah short is sane, it's 16-bit on all common desktop/server/etc platforms

@rcombs but int being short or long depending on the platform makes me sad and has broken so much

@hikari where is int = short, outside embedded? (like, for the most part these days it's neither on 64-bit even?)
