You miss the point. In FPC one has to make typedefs in order to have known
size types. I think it should be the opposite, make typedefs if you want
platform dependent sizes. In daily work the size of the base types should be
unambiguously visible. I often need to check if smallint is smaller than
shortint. ;-)
