I really wish C99 would not have defined so many different special types.  
It adds a tremenous amount of complexity to the use of the language.

I do, however, think "uint" is something that makes basic sense.  The 
"unsigned" or "unsigned int" type is used often enough, and "uint" is a 
rather obvious short-hand.

Ah, well.  That's probably not even worth 2cents.  :)
