Actually, printf() and similar commands will moan and groan if you send
them longs with %d specifiers, or ints with %ld.  I guess this is for
compatibility, as no compiler I've seen has required the use of %h
for shorts.

Speaking of longs vs. ints, I had a great deal of fun with v1.2, which defined
size_t as an int rather than a long, which is standard.  Then, when v2 came
out and turned size_t back to a long, I had to go and change all those
print specifiers back.  Or was it size_t?  I can't even remember now, but it
was one of the defined _t types.  :)
