Honestly, I don't think it's a trivial issue. Often and often, while
hacking the C++ front-end I noticed the integer typee which we use while
processing templates and I become nervous even when I see ints. In these
64-bit days and with people using all sorts of crazy template
metaprogramming, if I were to design these things from scratch I guess
that I would just use longs everywhere and be done with it. At minimum,
compare to clang? But hey, I'm new to most of the C++ front-end
internals maybe people already discussed these topics in the past, even
at ISO level, I don't know. I'm curious to hear Jason anyway.
