I always use LongInt because when using integer I am not sure what range of
numbers I will get. Who knows what special command line or compiler
switche changes this to 16 bit or even less. Then my program would
not work anymore. I have to makes sure that my expectations to a
certain data type are correct all the time.
IMO it's sufficient when your code continues to work in future time,
with integers of possibly higher, but never of lower precision.
