In practice it doesn't work in my experience. There is always someone in
a team who was "just testing that new editor" and replaced all tabs

to disallow tabs completely and mandate a cert

tended time, the
time used to compute the sleep time would be a little later. But of
course sleep is never that punctual, but that doesn't matter since that
just adds to that "a little later".

w well the previous sleeps and code between them behaved.
Correct. That's the intention of this code. From your previous postings
it wasn't apparent that you had understood this. In fact you seemed to
be arguing that this either wasn't necessary or couldn't possibly be
working.
on (on a conceptual level - actual implementations might
be somewhat different, as long as they behave the same).

iles which "can be used with certainty
across OS and versions" you need to use one of the prefixes "<", ">" or
"!" anyway because you also want to control the byte order, not just the
size (although big-endian architectures may be history in a few y
t out of range
And when you use the "standard size", 8 bytes are also too much:
