Indeed. Considering that C is supposedly *the* language for writing 
low-level code, I find it quite surprising that it provides absolutely 
no way to select a binary number of a specific size. It doesn't even 
seem to provide a vague suggestion of what size you're going to get; 
it's just random pot luck with each compiler you try...
