<limits.h> (or <climits> in C++) is a standard header, but the values
of the macro's are implementation defined.
The standard defines only some minimum limits, like:
int holds at least the values -32767 to 32767  (16 bits signed)
unsigned int holds at least the values 0 to 65535 (16 bits unsigned)
etc.
