Lets just make sure we don't take it too far - I don't want to see all
our string becoming 'int8 *' ;-)

Personally, I don't see the point in the short names for 'unsigned
int'.  I understand the need for explicit 64 bit names in particular
(where various compilers call it a different thing) but what exactly was
wrong with 'unsigned int'?
