Right. The short ones are a hangover from before C99 added the real,
standard types.
We really don't want to be screwing around with non-standard nonsense
like DWORD, u32, and whatever the BSDs use which ISTR is different
again.
Just join us in the 21st century and use the C standard types. Yes,
they're different to what you were used to in the last millennium.
You'll get over it.
