BTW, Andrei, what do you think the impact of this is for embedded

sizes)?
I think we're a bit biased toward x86, but I also think C's cavalier
approach to data sizes and operational semantics ain't better.

The bias towards x86 is less than the bias towards standard integer
sizes. D explicitly ignores platforms with odd sizes. D does NOT
support byte where byte is outside the range -127..128. Etc.
