I second that. > Second, we should "force people in a friendly way" to use more > readible names like: > sint32, uint64, etc. than "cardinal" No. Such stuff is only needed when you do hardware-interfacing. And that's the _only_ reason someone would need types with defined bit-sizes. > In a few years when 64 bits are normal, what will cardinal become? > who knows.. That's why Pascal has range types. Define the range you need, and don't use "just some type" which has the range you think you will need.
