Perhaps it is time for ANSI to revise their standard yet again,
as it appears that "long==32bits" is an insufficient breadth
of data bandwidth, especially considering that there exist machines
with a native width of 64 bits.  Having sizeof(long) < sizeof(int)
while potentially permissible, is a mite confusing, if not frustrating.
