I think we need to be careful with this.  We don't want to be casting
every printf(), so we are constrained in the types we should be using.
For example, we should ensure that we make very good use of the 'int'
and 'unsigned int' types in particular, as these are the most common
to pass to printf().  

That is to say, we have good printf warnings on some compilers - but
if we play casty-foo with every printf, we will stuff it up at some
point, and the results may not be pretty.

Natually, where we have wire types, we should use it, and I don't
object to using the standard names for such data.
